I think I scraped a peg yesterday
Here is the corner in question
 I think either my foot or peg hit the ground... I def made contact with the ground... but the bike was rock solid. I honestly didn't feel like I was going that fast Is this possible??? I have a Ninja 650R |

Honestly it wasn't even that bad
I think my body positioning was bad... I might have taken it motocross style |

Bike pegs are designed to scrape. They even have a little piece that is replaceable if you do a lot of peg scrapes. Also the pegs are hinged and have springs so they won't upset the balance of the bike as you scrape.
Congrats! You are now a real rider! One more thing you can check off your to do list. Doing a wheelie down 5th Ave. should be next. (Just kidding) Ralph

you should scrape pegs now and then.
not sure how you did it on the corner you're showing. my suggestion ... take your bike out on some curvy roads, no traffic, and scrape pegs there. good luck, dT |

yep...twisities are the best place to scrape some pegs, lift some floorboards, grind down guardian bells, and scratch up some engine guards....
 but safely mind you!
