    Someone got his footpeg down outside my house this evening.
    It would have been impressive were it not a Harley.

    ITYF that is a couple of days late. Some fuckwit managed to get a
    footpeg down near me on Wednesday. Closely followed by engine bar, end
    can, fairing, bar end weight, knee, hip and shoulder.

    Yes. Shoulder complains about pint lifting related motion and hip when
    I climb stairs. And a headache this morning that was due entirely to
    the "medicinal" bottle of Tempranillo and large Speyside malt I had
    last night.

  6. But, I put it to you sir - have you ever ground out the pegs/boards on a
    custom/cruiser style bike? I does take a bit of nerve, given tey're not
    usually adorned with the stickiest of rubber.

    And on the VS8, it's a bit concerning as the pegs are rigid (as opposed
    to jointed) to scraping down a bit too hard is easily capable of digging
    in and...well... I don't actually want to contemplate it.

    In honesty, no.
    No. I last did that on my H100, but in that case I caught the centre
    stand, I was projected upright in a startling fashion.

    Heh, glad you are okay-ish though.

    Keep taking the medication, YKIMS.
