Yes. [thumbsup]
I've watched a cruiser go 'round the track during ToR, so why not a Royal Enfield?
I would but
A) my chain is shot and needs replacement and
B) the pegs don't fold and there's not much cornering clearance. When the pegs touch down they touch down hard right away. It's disconcerting to say the least.

More body lean... less bike lean angle... That's how I would do it.... ;D
A) That looks really silly on an RE C5 and
B) I've tried, trust me, not much clearance. I was losing my rear wheel on the Ducati in turn 4 because it was sliding on the pipes. No way I'm pushing the RE to its limits, dragging a peg, and catapulting over the thing.
I've thought about taking it on the track but it's not the kind of bike I enjoy pushing to its limits. When that non-folding peg grabs it is abrupt and unfriendly. I can putter around on my RE all day and enjoy myself, the Monster always calls for more... and you can't help but answer.
