Well, in the past 3 days of riding after work I have managed to scrape the pegs at some point on every ride.
Now, up until 2008 when I had my '03 GL1800 Goldwing this was not uncommon as I love twisty roads and I tend to ride fairly aggressively when conditions permit and when I traded in my Wing for my Vision the second set of stock rider footpegs showed significant metal loss.
The Vision has much better ground clearance than the Wing and I have rarely touched a floorboard down with it so it came as a bit of surprise that the footpegs on the CTX would touch down faster than the floorboards on my Vision.
Perhaps I've just got so used to the better ground clearance on the Vision that I tend to lean harder rather than weighting to the inside of the bike when going through corners?
Comments are appreciated..........
BTW, this is how I typically rode my Goldwing when riding through Deals Gap, aka "The Dragon" (this is a stock internet image, NOT one of me).
