I don't have much experience dragging the pegs (no crash bars on mine) but it certainly gets my attention in a big way when it happens. I definitely need lots more practice in the curves.

I read an article once, I think it was in Cruiser Mag. about how one of the test riders checked for ground clearance/lean angle. I am pretty sure he said that when he got on a bike he would get it up to about 60mph and then do a hard swerve and stay in his lane and scrape both pegs. To most that might not seem like much but to me it sure seems impressive.
