Yeah some of those turns on GMR catchy you by surprise sometimes. I'm pretty sure it's that one (although about 5-6 of those turns look identical) is the one I've drug my pegs on the way up (on a couple of occasions). It's very disconcerting and I couldn't imagine doing it WITHOUT boots with toe sliders. One time It kicked my foot back and the peg drug through the whole turn. I thought I was going to crap myself

The leathers are FTW. When I finally chunked it down in S.D. on a similar road my pucks and toe sliders showed some grinding, but otherwise not a scratch on me. It takes those 15 mph (although on the bike you're taking them at 30-35mph) spills as a snack
