Hi there, got myself a '99 Tiger a few weeks ago for touring and discovered what you already know: it's fantastic fun and I might as well get rid of the Hornet that I meant to keep for the Sunday morning scratch...

Quick question: with the standard suspension set-up and Metzeler Tourance tyres fitted, will it lean to scratch the pegs well before getting into trouble or is it likely to be the other way around?

I would say the other way around... You're going to be on a real thin contact patch by the time the pegs touch...

Anyone have a picture of a Tiger draging pegs?

hmm, by the look of it I'd say it helps being 7", but still very impressive....

... or placing your buttock on the pillion foot rest as you get your knee down...

I left a hero peg from my left footpeg on the Karousel on the Nurburgring !, and i have worn the right one down since, so yes you can :razz: It just seems like a long way down there thats all :razz:

I know this isn't this post related... but getting your "knee down" is one thing, but bragging about getting your elbow down is something else!!!

GO JAMES!

P.S. To any MotoGP fans... this is James Ellison... the UK's only hope for 2006
