    cool stuff TM! I only managed to scrape the peg once or twice (on my 250) and that was on the track, don't think I have the balls to try that on the open road. Guess it also depends on the bike, some foot pegs are higher/lower then others.

    Got Shinko 005s and I scrape my pegs no problem. Try the 003s (even softer, they look like slicks) They must be awesome, and cheap too.

    Seriously though, great effort, it is a real milestone doing that....next milestone will be getting your knee down
    What he said. Knee down is a really nice feeling it enspires confidence and a big ego.
    Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

    anyone ever got a peg/knee down on an fxr? I don't think the tyres (yes, stock ones, ughck) have enough curvature on them. Or I'm just not cool enough, either way.

    Shove a set of Bridgestone Bt39ss and you could scrape you're boots. Maybe peg too?

    A new set of tyres will cost me like $300 though. And I enjoy slippin the back out on a sunny day when the back rides over a manhole, kinda. I'm trying to wear my tyres down so parents will buy me a new set. I think Mum's keen, specially when I idly comment to her about how dangerous crappy tyres are.
