Not sure if anyone has come across "Schaaf" on YouTube, but some scraping action going on when he's chasing a random Fireblade.

I used to scrap peg on my Ducati. I sold it and brought a motard. Now I'm having the same problem. What am I doing wrong?

The whole chicken strips thing is a just a big wank anyway, anyone who judges another rider on that is a cock

I bet you go around corners with no throttle on. Or you're fat and haven't adjusted the suspension. Or your cornering line is to carve the corner rather than smooth lines.
Jam and tarts....

Debatable. I'd use one of Jeremy Clarkson's pet phrases and describe him more as a 'Lady Garden''cept Crasher, he's already the man
He is, no debate there.Unless it's coffee we're talking about, everyone says he's shit at that
He's OK at serving cold Steinies though....
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

Does anyone know a bike shop in Godzone that actually gives people GOOD coffee ???
I don't - free coffee is all shit - at least it's free ...

Haha I need peg feelers to tell me when I am getting close to the centre stand touching down. Had a couple of scary moments with that and the ridiculously large radius on the GPR pipes where they exit under the chassis each side to travel on to the muffler. They will need replacing soon. Pegs have never been scraped
Funny moment going up the Kaimais on a M109R. I could see this harley behind me with ten foot tall handlebars. Not for long as he passed me with plenty of sparks coming from the Suzi's peg feelers. I handed it back to the owner in disgust

I've only really scraped my pegs on one corner, where the road made the ground clearance relatively low compared to a flat road.
However, I've really been focusing on my slow riding skills and now often scrape the pegs doing slow stuff. Although it's not exactly like high speed pegging, it's gives you a general feeling. Most of all, it teaches you how to lean your bike, and how far you can lean it.
Scooter boy
Yup!
On proper manly sportbikes pegs only scrape when I am about to get my spine and head down, then up, then down again
hopefully my blade counts as a manly bike...
Takes a bit of effort to get my pegs to touch, they're pretty high up. not really sensible on the rocky roads out west.
got some sparks on the Brynderwyn twisties though
