I lean my Vol till the footpegs fold all the way up on me... upon close examination of my tires, i find that i've worn them all the way up the "edge" if you will... so i feel like i'm getting maximum use out of my rubber!

AJ, I seem to remember that pic.
Ahh yes, now i remember, thats you on your telefonica! 8)

I have scraped my pegs a few times, sucks cause they are nice shiny chrome ones too

Ride on brotha, tip those knees!

Surely you jest! :?

 

[FringeOfInsanity]

I got the ISO wings now so there's no more nut to scape first. So Now I just go until my heel drags!

 

[5thTonBench]

yeah my isos have slightly round-er edges still look good though

 

[Hank]

Lean? Your supposed to lean? Is that necessary? :wink: I have never noticed any leaning. I have scraped my knee a couple times on my old GSX and OH...wait a minute! I bet that's why the 'lil bolts popped off the bottom of the pegs on my 'Lusia and the sides of the heels of my boots are worn flat too. If that's leaning then I guess it's a lot but of course it depends on the situation. Usually. I think. Hell, I just go with the bike.

Till I can scrape the sensors on the floor boards and hear the screeching sound. That's about 32-33 degrees. Further than that, I know it's too much. This ain't no sports bike. Lean too much, you'll lose the spring under the floor board; happened twice and that sucked.

I lean enough to turn. Unless I'm needing extra tight radius, I'm not pushing on the bar to lean the bike. It isn't that I can't turn hard or that I haven't ground a peg hard, it's just that I don't need to lean much and most of the time the sight lines won't support hard cornering. The longest stretch of relatively tight turns here is US129 over Deal's Gap. I really don't dare go too fast there - lots of police and traffic, too much of the traffic in my lane. Now up on the Cherohala on left sweepers I've tapped along with the left peg skimming, but I don't like the feel.

Somehow cruisers don't make me feel like cornering. More like loafing along!

Ahmen to that! A relaxed ride for sure.

 

[C50TinAB]

Whoa! Really riding the way back machine with this one. :biglaugh:

 

[rvcycleguy]

Just enough to be safe and feel good about the turn. There are too many unsafe conditions with distracted drivers, I don't intend to add to the statistics of injuries on a bike. I enjoy riding too much to be leaning beyond my capabilities.

Zombie thread!!!

Stand back!!

 

[Polovision]

Trent is a Zombie? AHHHHH!

 

[rgiess]

A Hard leaning is for Young and The Restless. When you become the Old and The Brittle like me you take things a little easier. You guys have fun out there.

 

[King-Pin]

Wow! I don't know that I've ever seen one over 10 yrs old picked up without missing a hitch!

It'l be interesting to see how much mileage it gets this time around.

 

[desim]

I like em older :moon::bigoops:

 

[Steve Gray]

I lean so far that I not only touched down the sidewall of my tire, I touched down the bars, tank, and shifter! Beat that!
See my signature below for details.

 

[danimal]

I'd say you leaned too far Steve...

 

[Steve Gray]

I'd say so too
