I'm an official beginner rider

I just graduated from the motorcycle safety foundation beginner (or is it basic) rider's course. Yeah. I've been riding for a while and didn't really need it, but I did learn a thing or two...

The beginning of the second day, the instructor asked me (and some other riders who were more experienced) if I was dragging my pegs on the turns. I said "no." He then said "Then you're not going fast enough."

Ok, so I dragged my pegs just about every turn I made thereafter. There's nothing like flogging the hell out of crappy motorcycles for an entire afternoon.
