I think there was a thread like this before the great forum crash of 2011 but I haven't seen one here yet. I will go ahead and start with a couple from my trip to the dragon last fall.

I ended up tickling more than the peg.

I have since learned alot more about how much body positioning can affect ground clearance. I rarely even touch a peg anymore.

Yeah, your getting real close to catching some asphalt and washing. If you get your body inside, the bike doesn't need to lean as far. ;)

Good one Chet, I love it! ZG's bike is always ready for a photo op. It is so much easier since it rarely leaves the garage or driveway. ;D

I knew you were up to something Chet when you pulled all those cleaning supplies out of "your" side bag and headed over towards my bike yesterday bro! :battle:
Did you plan this the night before or do you always carry around all those cleaning supplies?? :o

I too had to learn about body positioning: alright, I really knew about it, but was hamming it up for the camera.

My learning curve is finding the same fairing scratches. My first bike was a dessed out 77 XS750 that was nice to ride but did not lean all that much. Now my ZG1000 does love to lean and I love corners, bad mix at times. Now I have come to understand that just because the bike will lean as far as you push it it is not the best thing to do.

Here's a shot of me when I was taking the MSF ARC, which one of the RiderCoaches took and the Ride Arizona training folks are now using on their website (linked to picture):

And here's another one with my wife on the back on the Ouray side of Red Mountain Pass on the Million Dollar Highway in SW Colorado:

I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one to have one of those farkles on my bike :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
