I would like to know how much you have to exceed the speed limit to touch down a peg when properly negotiating a curve.
Probably a lot faster than *I* would ever go
I have never touched a peg down and have exceeded the limit by 20 mph
I have taken ramps more than 20 mph over and nowhere near peg zone (and with my bike lowered, I expect my peg touching would happen even sooner than most)... but I think in VA they are crazy pessimistic with suggested (ramps and yellow signs) and actual speed limits. In fact, on corners and ramps, I usually automatically add 20 MPH to the suggested limit and consider that only mildly spirited.
which is the fastest I will ever exceed because I need my license for work.
In my case, I just value my life more than a license. For slab/Interstate/highway, I automatically take 5, often take 9, and will typically only go faster only if it appears to be with the flow of traffic (inotherwords, good chance of someone ELSE getting the ticket, not me).
Of course that doesn't count the few places where I can't resist zooming to 110+ for a quick wakeup
(But those are quite rare, and only with excellent conditions- flat, smooth, clean, good weather, great visibility, no traffic, etc). Hey- it is good for the engine....
