17" Wheel Conversion

What? Are you sure? I bought this thing rather than a cruiser, like a Victory Kingpin, white with silver highlights, because it should corner like a UJM Standard bike, which is considerably better at cornering without scraping hard parts, I thought, pretty sure. You mean on the track?

My pegs are worn and my Yoshimura RS-3 pipe has touched down as well.

Have you considered a sportbike? One of those Italian bikes with high pegs and pipes tucked under the seat. Aprilia makes nice ones like that. I seriously considered one until realizing I should not gofast through curves at my age and should just get something to cruise on that I can use on low speed curves without touching down like one would do on a low cruiser.

Some guys are actually able to do this on the street. Not me. If I ever hear scraping noises, I'm pretty sure I've gone down and am sliding on it's side.

That's the way I want to ride with this CB and at my age. I expect never to scrap unless I scew up on an approach. Thanks for the reply.

Day's like that I'd love a sportbike. And when I've done 400 and 500 mile days I would have loved to be on a more touring oriented bike. But when I commute I'd love to be on something sub 400lbs that got 70+ MPG. And when I go grocery shopping I wish I had a car.

But since I was looking for a bike that would be easy to live with as my only mode of transportation, I bought the CB.

That said, I've got room in the garage...
