Either your a proper hero or, as Ghostbiker suggested, hang off more! Not to have a go at your riding style (cos I've never seen it!), but basing it on my experiences going out with my brother, who rides a lightly modified Blackbird. When we are going for it, his riding style tends towards just leaning the bike over, with the results being, wearing out the standard exhaust and part of the lower fairing and occasional sparks flying! Me, my style tends toward hanging off (I'm quite an energetic rider), throwing my body and weight over while attempting to keep the bike as upright as possible. The results are I, more often than not, carry more speed through the corners and if we come across a corner that tightens up, I have that extra lean of the bike to get me round, whereas my bro has nothing left in reserve and has to go wide! Incidentally, i haven't yet grounded my pegs, nor do I "get my knee down on every corner"! tho generally I do ride like I stole it. :lol I hope this helps you a bit, of course if you are already hangin' off and still grinding your pegs, then I take my hat off to you:-)
