I didn't think I took Easy to task for his advice on the leaning. I took the same class as Moe, and what they said in his they said in mine - but it was in the context of the "box" test, one that I freely admit I could probably not pass two times out of three.

The degree to which I am leaning the bike now, vs. last year say, is more like the difference between "hardly at all" to a "little bit more than before." I don't think I have ever scraped the pegs on the GZ. I did scape the footrest once on the Strat, doing a simple right hand turn at lowish speed - it only happened the one time, and I'm not even sure how/why. I think maybe the road was slanted or there was a weird dip or something. I agree - it's not something I want to be doing regularly. Kind of surprises you when it happens.

I have seen the motocrossers and racers with their knees out and down, and trust me, their bikes are over WAY further than I have ever had mine. (They also seem to have much bigger tires... do they?)

Are you and Easy..... dating?
