And his explanation is BS.

He never got close to the yellow line before he rode off the edge of the road. Which as described by others, was likely due to target fixation and failure to look WHERE you want to go.


I watched and listened to this though without anymore speaker than what was in the computer box. Bad at best. Still it souned like on at least one left hander it seemed he scrapped a bit. It was enough to catch my attention and figured he would lowside on going to the left. Can't go back and listen now but I thought I heard a few scraps on that left where he lowsided as well before he went wide. Lesson to all of us if he did, that dragging parts is a snake that will come back to bite us. (I do try to limit that once a peg starts scrapping LOL)

The minute my pegs start "scrapping" I separate them and make them sit in opposite corners until they cool down.

I can't help it, it's a dreadful curse. I have the soul of an editor... (I suspect many of the inmates of this as well...)

Wow, you can get every accessory imagineable for a HD. Highway pegs for the rider to stretch his legs, I can understand. Pegs to push the passenger into a gynocological exam position? I don't get it.

I think it's to relieve weight on the hamstrings. If she is short enough, most of her weight wouldn't be on her posterior proper, instead she would have most of her weight on backs of her legs.
