Hanging off on cruisers and "non" sport bikes?

Its called practicing on the same curve over and over and over again... cause that's the only corner i know I can push it and there will be no traffic. Or the only corner that's sharp enough

I've dropped so many friggin protractors I had to give it up.

But, you know, if I could mount a laptop, hmmmm.....

[quote=Thundurburd;524219]Leaning into a turn is probably Ok (I'm even doing it now) but hanging off a bike while riding on public roads at posted speeds and recommended corner speeds is unnecessary for riding safely.

HAHAHA!, Good answer, stroking along at 75 rarely requires, the shiffting of the arse on wide open roads with wide curves.
I have used this technique however when the curve comes up too fast, the old ass starts quacking at the rocks.

I think it really depends on the cruiser.
I have two cruisers in the stable.
My hammer has a 250 mm rear back tire. The HD Deluxe has something like a 180mm.
Both ride totally different. The HD will lay over with no effort at all in a curve and the rider posture is normal.

The Hammer....different story. I have to shift a cheek and push to put the bike thru curves. Hang off the bike and it rides like a sport bike.
