When you don't have chain lube you have to improvise

Interesting, in that last pic looks like it is going to scrap even before your left foot does.

You would think so but not one time have I touched the center stand in a corner. I also ride the bike in its lowest suspension setting because I am vertically challenged. I have only touched foot pegs a few times and the right pannier once. 

Now the Multistrada used to scrape the center stand all over when I first installed it. Then it finally ground enough metal to keep it off the road in corners. Never once touched a peg down on that bike. I only touched my left pannier when I fell over after hitting that Mazda on the BRP. Doesn't count.

I am thinking optical illusion. The center stand is closer to the center so as you lean it does not close the distance to the ground as fast as the pegs which are further out.

Basically. I just ride the thing at this point. It has zero flaws minus being a tad under sprung. It's faster than I am, for sure. I moved through the gap faster than I ever have and with less effort than while riding the Supersport, 748 or the Multistrada. My last solid run was on the FZ6 chasing you. I hadn't ridden it that quick on any of the Ducs. This time was considerably quicker. Never touched a peg.

Every time I cook a turkey I still yell "Pauly, this is for you!". Some habits die hard
