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 love a good "upskirt shot"

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.

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!

Did you plan this the night before or do you always carry around all those cleaning supplies??

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:

(Note that I can't hang off the side as much with the rear-seat mounted speed limiter installed

)

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