Discovered the limits of a right hander

[XTREEME]

That kinda shocked the poopie out of me.

I was not expecting the stock pipe to be the contact point with the road. I am used to using the foot pegs on my old VTX as the contact guide with aggressive turns, and being that the pegs have natural give in them, they don't really upset the bike when it happens. Well you can imagine my surprise when taking an aggressive right turn with a heavy lean at about 30, only to have the rear part of the pipe make contact (there is no give in that contact). Almost sent me into a slide, but I got the right foot down in time and kept her up.

Definitely woke me up.

I drag pipes n pegs when exercising the Dog, to give riders around me a "thrill", and when "telling" cages to back the F-Off.

Its all fun and games till you drag the frame and go home and look at it and say "what have I done".

My pegs drag first - but it just sharpens the points.

[Mickeetwo]

Purchased touch-up paint from Nelson at WB Cycles for the frame.

After dragging the vance n hines a lot, the pipes are ground down to the point it does not happen as much...

 

[Brew]

Drag the pegs all the time, ya get use to it...

I thought it was just me that was dragging to the right. Ya'll make me feel much better about those scraps on the bottom of those pipes. I think it is a natural reflex, especially the first time it happens, your eyes bug out , and something else draws up!!!!
I am going to have to go ride the Dragon by myself, because my daughter, whichs rides a Harley, says I'll bust my butt, and didn't want me to do it when they went last year.

That is a Wow!!! :2thumbs: scooter that Hoat is riding!!
