Freakin' hippy
Today was my first peg-scrape!
I had the morning off, so went to see the motorbikes at the Southward Car museum, then back over the Paikakariki Hill Road, (awesome, no gravel, no traffic)
And then I got a peg down! Just once, but it's my first.
I swore loudly in fright until I realised it was just the foot-peg, nothing terrible had happened.
Yehaa!
GN250's got what it takes!
Determined to kill my bike before it kills me
Aargh, photos!
Bloody awesome.
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

I thought the pegs on the GN were solid no? If they don't fold then I'd be careful about getting the pegs down in case they bite. Won't look sooo cool then.

Yep, they fold. Who on earth would design a footpeg that didn't fold!?Originally Posted by Weasel

Good question, just one of those random things I think I know but really don't.... I'll find that g-spot one day!

I remember my first peg scrape - I was heading out to White Rock for my 2 week xmas holiday in 2005

Nice one, the only peg scrape I've had was at the same time my ass was scaping the seal!

BTW Congrats. Waiting for the bin post (p/t)
Here for the arcade.
My new tyres feel like they want to give way when on the pegs, so normally I don't lean so hard and I only ever scrape the pegs when the shitty suspension bottoms out on a corner
Yay!

A lot of the bikes back in the 60's and early 70's didn't have folding footpegs.
Made life very interesting in the twisties with everyone doing ballet type pirrouettes
Good on ya mate. Like everyone, first time you get a bit of a fright and can easily react by standing the bike up a bit which kinda stuffs your cornering line somewhat.
Once you been there and done that, it becomes a common occurrence and scraping the stand and other solid bits comes next with a little more care obviously as that is inclined to take the weight of the tyres and play havoc with grip.
If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.
