Ground clearance - in action

Disclaimer: I made these videos just to see how much the centre stand really limits the left hand leaning angle - so, I'm riding here like a wooden block, not moving my body and not trying to go as fast as possible. Anyway, the ground clearance is now quite good for my riding style - I can touch the ground if I try, but it hardly happens unexpectedly anymore.

The centre stand hits the tarmac on left hand curve - short slow motion on board video (mpeg, 2.3 MB, 10 seconds).

There are minor pumps on the road and you'll hear the scratch (if not, right click to download the movie and watch it locally) and if you watch carefully, you'll see that the gear lever is in danger too.

Another touch here, slow motion too - the centre stand and my foot jump upwards and the sound follows a bit later...

These on-board bullet cameras are lots of fun!
