Default Rounding Curves

I havent been riding for a long time but I am learning a little bit. I have no problem scraping pegs at 45 mph but yesterday I scraped at 70 and it scared the stuff out of me. I really didnt feel confortable leaning that much at that speed. Is there more of a chance of breaking traction at 70 rather than 40 or am I just being a chicken?
