Default scrapping pipes

the future wife says every time we ride together I feel like I am getting more comfortable on the bike. She told me tonight I was tking corners and curves faster. I scrapped the pipes (ever so slightly) on a turn, thought it was pretty neat, and yes I was being safe. BTW I have big growl full length slash cuts!

I used to have a Bigdog and wore the heel on my bootto a 45 degree angle taking corners. Thats how I knew if I went to far. LOL Ride safe!

Don't forget to bump up your preload on the shocks when riding 2-up, will likely keep you from scraping often.
