Some of you may have already seen this video but if you haven't I would suggest that you take 3 minutes and watch it. There's alot of talk about scrapping pegs & scrapping pipes almost with the attitude that "your not a good rider if you don't". Actually the opposite is true. You can take corners safely (and quickly with practice) if you use the proper technique.
There's some really good points brought out to keep in mind for new riders as well as good reminders for more experienced riders.
Never stop learning and fight off complacency.
