Default Ever unintentionally scrape a peg?

I went out for a ride over lunch intending for it to be just a nice, relaxing ride through the back roads...

For the record, I tend to take fairly conservative lines by choice just because. I can scrape pegs when I choose, but I tend not to by design

Anyhow, I was riding today and didn't notice that I was riding more and more aggressively to the point where I went into a left hander and scraped my peg without meaning to. Immediately, my mind said STOP and decided to examine what the hell was going on.

UNFORTUNATELY, all of my brain power was focused on reviewing the past events that I blew the NEXT left hander (though I had already slowed down to about 20 or so) and went into the grass briefly before snapping myself out of it and, after a squirly back tire moment, got back on the pavement.

Apparently, I went out more keyed up than I thought.

I'll be keeping an eye out for THAT again going forward! It's safer that way!
