Bikes didn't always have folding pegs, you'd just lay the bike down hard on the pegs and scrape everything - we didn't look at chicken strips, there were none, we looked at how much of the pegs were ground down to gauge what sort of rider they were. Pivoting on the pegs - yes it was done, lift the back wheel up and tighten the line. Of course we didn't have 100hp and 3 disc brakes....
