A slightly different viewpoint, but I'd say it IS possible even (or, perhaps, particularly) if you are a fairly cr@p rider...I am slow as f**k, but grounded on the right hander coming onto the back straight at Almeria. The reason being that I was sat bolt upright on the bike (see avatar), so I needed a lot of lean to carry any corner speed at all. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I was on a 190 section back tyre. I recall the back feeling slightly unstable at this point, but my memory is a bit hazy as I was sh***ing myself at the time.

Now I hang off a bit (although still not enough), I have been round the same corner, probably faster, with me being no where near touching down knee, foot or any other appendage.

I guess my rear suspension is fairly soft for track use, but I would say it is quite withing the 9** ability on decent road tyres to ground the standard foot-pegs, but you would have to be fairly **** hot (as per Domski's remarks) to do it if you had a good body position as well.
