Hanging off the bike.

As we all know Ireland's twistier roads can lean a bike right over even at relatively low speeds. So do any of ye hang off?

If you're not moving your weight about you're not really trying, you'd be amazed the effect shifting to the side of the bike can have when cornering (plus it makes you feel like Rossi and co).

I do regularly enough, more so in the rain.. Or if I've a full tank I'll move my weight back to wheelie.

Once you get used to shifting about on the bike a whole new experience will open up for you.

On track days I'll get through several sets of sliders... riding on the road, my steering is sharp enough (Triumph Speed Four) to require fairly minimal movement at normal speeds. Always worries me when I see someone putting their knee down at 30 mph around a roundabout or around a typical Irish corner, it's just asking for trouble with the amount of diesel, potholes and tractor **** about.
