Just scraped a floorboard for the first time... 10 Months, 1 Week ago  
I found a really steep, windy road that I thought was going to turn into a donkey path! On one of the turns, going pretty slow, I scraped a floor board and I gotta admit it scared the crap outta me for a second. Then I realized what the sound was and just smiled. No one there to high five.

Now you will try to get that sound on every corner. Congrats on the scrape. It did scare me the first few times.

If anyone rides near Baraboo Wisconsin, look for Hoot Owl Valley Road. The whole area has some great roads.

I have a hard left on the way home from work. I try to scrape the boards every time.

I remember my first time too. Wild stuff.

When we stopped for a break I tried leaning the bike to the point the board was touching and almost dropped it.

I'm sure there was a topic in highschool physics class I slept through defining the phenomenon.
