Dragged peg today.... - Motogeezer1949_imp - 08-24-2014
On the kids bike. The left one. Led the last half of a small group ride, 7 of us all together. Sons not crazy about group rides so I borrowed the CB.
Rode west of Orlando around the Clermont area in Lake County.
I'm impressed how well the bike handles. As we all know, the suspension's not high end, but it's not bad. Stock tires grip fine too.
Just need to get it re flashed to get rid of that darn speed limiter......

Hmm....curves in Fla.,
I guess the peg drags at about the same point the "chicken strips" go away on the back tire?

If I keep gaining weight, I'll soon start dragging both of my pegs — at the same time.

Have to appreciate the irony of the old man taking the kids bike out and flogging the snot out of it!
paybacks!

No, chicken strips are gone before you grind any peg feelers. Mine are non-existent but I have yet to touch down any hard parts. You're better off trying to get your chin to your wrist than getting the bike leaned over that far, but the suspension seems to be able to handle 100+mph 90 degree sweepers just fine with my 230lbs self on it, without scraping.
