I used to scrape pegs on my Ninja 250 all the time but it didn't have a huge amount of ground clearance. I have never scraped a peg on the Gixxer but I came awful close at the Dragon during the rally when I rolled through a tight left hand switchback and drug my toe slider on the pavement. Had my toes up high on the pegs too. Thats what folding pegs and ground feelers are for.

that was one of the things that went through my mind actually - I went back after and retraced my line and I think I took the curve more to the inside going in rather than to the outside which made me have to lean more into the turn.

My body position is a little harder to recreate but I was probably more neutral than hanging off

Yes and almost levered myself into a low-side. Hanging off solved that problem.
