My day (I crashed a little bit!)

Shock's all the way up; but I do weigh a lot. My pegs are narrower than the OEM ones by about an inch and sort of go pointy at the end, it stops them digging in when they scrape, but I do have a lot of ground clearance it seems!

You mean you have a shock with adjustable ride height??!? ... or are you talkin' about preload

An inch off the pegs will give you a fair bit more lean

Preload But I'd love to get one with adjustable height, plus some sort of damping and compression ability... I'd like to go up an inch or so on the back.

Who's the homo behind you in the top pic? ... he looks like he has it 'rit-over' too

Some dude called pete, he was quicker in the bends than most guys who were there. Apparently overtaking is much more fun than seeing how far over you can get; I was overtaking guys round the outside, was muchos fun.

Got a pic of him in the same spot as you ... I think he'll have more lean than even you!

That's him; he was a very good rider IMHO, didn't have leathers though!

This other pic is another one of my mates who is stupidly skilled:



He mainly does stunt riding lol

Some impressive skills on show by some "anonymous" riders there.

Exactly the same with me haha, the day I got my leathers I went out and touched down, felt great

When you go out with the aim to scrape your knee......you try to hard and the result is the reason behind this thread.

Agree again, it's very important to not put yourself under pressure to do it imo, I made that mistake and came off myself.

I had a go on the 7R the other day and was told that I'm about an inch off, could probably do it with some roundabout laps but I'm sure it'll come after a while anyway, I'd rather just have a year staying on the thing than chasing stuff like that haha.
