It was awesome.
We were doing an exercise where we go thru a 90 degree right hander, down a straightaway, up to about 15-18mph, then into a 135 degree righthand sweeper. Slowing slightly before entering the sweeper. Then, accelerate all the way thru the sweeper, using an outside-inside-outside path of travel. Of course, while leaning it all the way thru the curve. I had the little Suzuki GZ250 leaned so far over to the right, I dragged footpeg once I got thru the curve. Never bobbled luckily, was able to maintain my acceleration thru the curve even when the peg dragged.
I thought it was pretty cool.
My instructor pulled me aside after I came to a stop and asked me "Did the peg hit?" I told him, "Sure did!" He kinda chuckled and told me to get back in line.
Then, on lunch break, he proceeded to hop on his HD Ultra Classic and bust off figure 8's and drag floorboards while doing it. Dude has some serious skills on that big ass bike he rides.
