Grinding Pegs

My mini wing drivers pegs are now almost shaving quality.  Great Memorial Weekend riding in NC.

thanks for the pic.  Now I know what I looked like the other day when I scraped the pegs.  I'm not an aggressive rider, so the scrap kind of surprised me.

Don't want this to sound rude.

Based on the photo if you had let the bike sit up a little more whilst you had let your upper body lean a little more you would have rounded the bend at the same speed without your footpeg touching.

What I do is roll off the oustide butt cheek so as to make my upper body lean into the bend. Not a lot maybe just a degree or two.

This can be practised on a long sweeping bend at a relatively safe speed until the rider gets comfortable leaning with body rather than leaning with bike. As you are moving along the bend let the bike come upright slightly - I said slightly - and roll off the appropriate butt cheek slightly - I said slightly.

What one is doing is trying to copy a sports riders cornering stance but in a much less aggresive manner.

With all the sand on the roads here in Az you would be real sad leaning enough to scrape pegs.
