Transitioning to the Dark Side - a Detailed Log
Written by jim.strtr on 4/1/2011 at 12:40 am

Ah contrare! I am a former (very old) road racer. To lean the bike over less,
all you have to do is get your butt off the seat and slide it to the inside and
put all your weight on the inside foot peg. Once you do that the bike will lift
up a bit and allow you to go thru the corner even faster. That's why those
crazy guys get their butt off the seat and squat down as much as possible. Just
my 2 cents worth. J.S.

a function of speed and radius of the turn. He was going fast! Anybody else
going that fast would also lean that far.

bike had to lean to make that curve compared to all the other bikes, you'll
realize that curves are not what those darkside tires are good at.
