    I can't see anythin
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    well.
    I went up to unitec with my camera to find out. it doesnt look that low although it feels it.

    so you think I can get much lower than this? I did hit my toe on the ground on at the end.
    Try figure of 8's, you'll get less dizzy!

    I'd be a bit more wary of the white lines, even if it's dry they haven't got as much grip as tarseal/asphalt.

    Did you have your toes on the pegs, or were the pegs under the middle of your foot? If you keep the toes of your inside foot on the peg, rather than having the middle of your foot on the peg, you'll have to lean over further before scraping them.

    Try shifting your weight a bit more, try hanging off the bike into the turn. Or try the opposite, try letting the bike lean over further and keeping yourself more upright (more useful for slow speed stuff) whilst supporting yourself on the pegs rather than sitting. The more you mess around and try different stuff, the more familiar you'll get with your bike and its handling.

    It might actually be easier to lean over further on a decent corner than doing circles in a carpark, I reckon.

    funny how time change aye. Years ago the sighn of a good /fast rider was tyres scuffed to the edge with no chicken strips,boot toe tips ground away and pegs shortened by constant grinding on the ground.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    If the peg digs in it does grip, and highside you off, or if your lucky lowside you....
