    Finally scrapped a foot peg

    I know some of you will think this as a none event, but after 18 monts of riding I finally scrapped a foot peg with out really setting out to.
    Was going up the rimutakas pass a car and entered a right hander a little quicker than I normally would, didn't freak but decided on a line and put the bike into it. Suddenly there was a strange rumble coming up the right boot -- cool as -- just scrapped the peg. Came out of the corner with the big grin
    Even had to stop at the look out to inspect the shiny scrap marks.
    What i learnt:
    Just because the bike is leaning over its not going to fall over
    Why Mr Honda put extra metel on the end of my foot peg
    If I enter a corner a bit quick just sort out where i need to go and put the bike there

    ahhhhh, the things dreams are made of!
    Now you be a real motorcyclist, feel the force.
    Nothing quite like sparks flying. Learning is so much fun.
