Not really, since unless you crawled completely onto the top side of the bike I still can't see much dragging from that picture. Where in that picture is the first piece of hardware that would touch down, assuming your body never touched first (somehow)?

Hm... let me come at it a different way. Your origional question was (as I understood it) "How can rearsets be dragging before maximum lean angle, if, from the picture (not of me, BTW) it looks like the persons knee would drag first?"
I say, you are right, the knee does drag first, then as the lean angle further increases, the toe slider begins to drag, then leaning still further, the rearset peg begins to drag. At that point (rearset peg touching), I thought there was even still a little lean angle left (I could've leaned a little lower still), but since metal was dragging, I didn't push it any lower.
Better?
