[QUOTE="user 3386, post: 181860, member: 3386"] I completely agree with the tip "Don't hang off in the corners...Sitting sedately on the bike looks safer and reduces unwanted attention. It also provides a built-in safety margin..." when riding in a group. (If I see a group of riders hanging off in corners, I get out of the way.) BUT...a slight hang-off is a safer way to ride solo through a tight corner, IMHO. More tread on the road than when increasing bike lean angle to make the same corner. And it's easier to adjust your line (by shifting lower body weight) than by steering input. [/QUOTE]
