Yes, cheap, solid pegs, it was expected. It's also a bit more dangerous than the folding ones, since it can break your leg quite easily. Thumbs Up

I'm not a safety nazi, but it does show what could happen to skin and bone if the right gear isn't worn.

Hi

Pretty much the same would happen with a crash bung, maybe a bit slower (but then that peg has been carefully machined to minimise its size).

All the best

It's a piece of aluminium, not titanium. I sure might be wrong though. Thumbs Up

Definitely aluminium at the speed that it was ground down. Titanium would have just had a slight scuff on the tip.

Titanium would also spark like hell, that just turned to dust.

For any MotoGP bike and its rider
all part of the daily grind. Sad

So please file away that joke under 'shite'.
And this ^ joke, while you're there.

Well yes, but it is not expensive to fabricate these pegs. I might not be explaining it right. Imagine you've got a football pitch, the lines on the pitch are basically made of grinded chalk/lime. Would you come to a conclusion, that just because FIFA, it must have been very expensive to grind the stuff to make the lines on the turf? Thinking

I mean, yes, MotoGP is expensive motorsport, but some bits on the motorcycles are just not. The grips on the handlebars are also nothing special, the chains and sprockets are also nothing extraordinaire and so on.

''Still MotoGP'' is an argument of a 5 year old. Razz
