[ST] Lefties, Peg-Feelers, etc.

Dude, I've had three friends KILLED by drivers doing left turns in front of them.  Don't be so hard on yourself.  A few tears may someone's life.

As for peg-feelers, scraping pegs in real life:  I was taught by teachers who know that the quicker you change direction, the less lean angle required to make any given radius at any given speed.  IMHO, anyone scraping pegs on the street is turning in way too slow.  The aforementioned Rossi and Duhamel are scraping pegs because they're riding at ten-tenths.  Anyone scraping pegs on the street riding at 6-8/10ths* is either a poor rider, or both.
