Just a tap down on the right handlebar grip.
But yes, i do drag my pegs and pipes going around some corners... But we have some tight roundabouts! 
Just imagine being able to ride in a big circle, sometimes a small circle, and as you tighten the circle you can lean further... if you start wide you can really counter-steer and lean into the bend and the bike will just tip and tip and tip until the pegs touch and then the pipes... it's at that point i straighten up again as i'll probably come off or turn too tightly, go off course and hit something. I don't do it when the road's busy or in the slightest bit wet, but most roundabouts are usually quite empty and have good grip. This is at no more than 15-20 mph too.
Wish i had a pic.
hehe, you can call me Evel if you want though  |
I think you ride the most out of the 900 out of all of us. LoL. I'm not talking about miles... I'm talking about limitations. You are my hero Evel.
