Hanging off the bike on public roads..

[cat with a hat]

Do you hang off your motorcycle (or move your arse around) on sprinted rides whilst using public roads?

About a year ago I started experimenting on sprinted rides, but I've since come to the conclusion that its rather pointless on public roads.

Admittedly I don't own a super sport nor am I a track racing god (just yet).

I see this type of riding every TT as the hoards come over, there were two guys in front sliding all over the seat on the bends and sticking their knee out,it looked ridiculous,but the best bit was some guy on a pan sitting bolt upright fried them.

Love it

Some great responses in here..

I should add that I drop my shoulder and move my head right over (maybe my arse moves a few cm). Admittedly one of the reasons i stopped was the effort involved, but i feel my lazy cornering has got much better now to the point that I feel i can change direction much quicker and within the limits of safety, my cornering speed is about the same.

Yes, because it makes me look like a bellend.

Closed private road etc.

My blade leans over more on the sidestand.
