The "Scrape Club"

[Jimmytee]

I too am cautious when I start to scrape. For me, it's a warning note that I need to relook my entry. I want to go thru the curve fast but I want it to be graceful not catastrophic. That's not to say I didn't deliberately scrape my pegs after I redid my suspension.

There is nothing "catastrophic" going on when I scrape hard parts. Just good ol' fun. I practice my riding techniques, but this bike ,as good as she handles, runs out of cornering clearance pretty quick. If you are riding quickly enough, you will scrape parts. That's why I put the titanium pucks on my foot pegs so there is also a show.
