Pegs down - where are you boys doing it?
 

There has been a fair bit of talk about pegs down of late ... I went out for a nice long ride today and I have been thinking about it ....

I'd like to think I do some fairly 'spirited' riding :cool: but I've never had my pegs down on the road ... for all I know I could be 0.1mm or 10cm from getting the pegs down, but it simply has never happened/been a problem ...

So I am trying to think ... what corners are you doing them on? ... exactly how fast are you guys going? :shock:

The sort of roads I ride on there simply isn't the visibility to go in fully committed and 9/10 there is gravel or horse plop right in the middle of the road ... for this reason, I can't see myself getting my knee or pegs down ... I am starting to wonder if I am chicken **** ... or you guys are riding different roads to me ...

Or are you lapping roundabouts doing it? :confused:

Bit of both, started on roundabouts but on roads that I know and have good surfaces I was able to ride with literally double corner speed to what I had before I'd practiced on roundabouts.

Well quite ... so how the feck are you boyz doing it :scratch: ... even when I went to France on my SV on a .org rideout and there were some cool roads and hot tarmac, my knee and pegs never touched down (bog stock suspension front and rear back then) ... and I didn't think I was hanging about at times ... so how the hell are you doing it (on the road??) :shock:

Try the left southbound on the A32 joining the M27 towards Pompey. Or any decent sized roundabout... Hillsea r/about used to be a national limit... not sure if that's still the case? Or there's the offramp from the M275 towards Port Solent/Portchester.

Look at the road sign at 1:08 - classic - :smt044
