I was turning onto my friends road. No ones fault but my own, was moving pretty good trying to get to the edge of my new pirellis and when I made the turn the road slopes up a bit. I heard a scrape and felt the peg go up. Pulled into his garage and said "jeez, I scraped peg on that one" He said "Uhhh, you scraped way more than peg man...."

My speed+my lean+my fat ***-properly adjusted suspension+riding like a jackass=




Yea.. I was pretty disappointed with myself... Now my pristine unmarked steal of a purchase bike has its first scar....
But I could have been alot worse. Something like this with a harder hit, or a poorly adjusted suspension could have caused a low side.

 

You should be proud.

 

I know the feeling, I hate it.

Sorry to hear bro.

 

i dont know if you should be upset, or be proud...

look at it more of like a battle scar than anything else. Wear your scars proudly, they are nothing to be ashamed of.

if you dropped her, it'd be one thing. But scraping a peg is never a bad thing (unless the pursuing action is you sliding on the ground)

 

meh, it adds character

 

Wow.. you can bottom out your fairings before you even grind away your peg feelers?

 

peg feeler hit... it came up as far as it could, then the plastic and the pipe hit...

 

sucks man but you really must have leaned into it.
