Re:Just scraped a floorboard for the first time... 10 Months, 1 Week ago  
When my rear shock was adjusted to it's softest position and riding two up I scrapped the rear swing arm. I was already dragging the floor board. I had to lift my foot to get more lean angle. I was about to crap all over the place. This was right after I got the R* and was still use to the sport bike.

In Green Bay and the surrounding area, they are putting in "Round abouts" on about 50% of the intersections, I thought they were doing if for ME! I love them, and sometimes I just keep going around and around while scrapping the crap out of the floorboards. Scared the Hell out of Scootergirl the first time we scrapped 2up, but now she knows I'm trying!

HANG ON DEAR!

Yeah the first couple times is pretty crazy...you are concentrating on the turn and then SCRAPE, but after you get doing it some more times you will find your self hunting that dam scrape down and making it your B!@#$ ha ha

Boards, great. Anything else = pain in the wallet.
