I'm over 60 and don't roll the throttle like I used to. In addition I quit adding Vance and Hines or Cobra pipes to my bikes. Aging eventually gets everyone and it is no fun, but alas, no problem with limited lean angle on my R18B.
As always to each their own. I have been asked before if I can scrape the floorboards. My response has always been the following: “yes I can scrape the floorboards. Every time I have done so it has been a reminder to slow to heck down. If I am regularly scraping floorboards I am on the wrong bike.” Good used bikes are fairly “inexpensive” where I live. If I regularly feel the need to take corners at well above the posted speed limit I ride a different bike. Just because an R18 can scrape pegs/boards doesn’t mean that it should be doing so on a regular basis. If you choose the proper tool for the job it sure makes things a lot less hectic. Personally I prefer riding my motorcycle of choice within the confines of its intended purpose/design. I am fortunate in having more than one two wheeled tool.
