How many of you guys get off your seat and lean into the corners while riding on the street? Ive noticed almost no one does it...

I think anyone who knee drags on the street is crazy. Ive noticed I can corner and transition much faster just moving off the seat and hanging off the bike a little. I dont see hardly anyone else doing it? Almost everyone I see just sits square on the seat like theyre going in a straight line. Seems really slow to me...

personally, i don't think i need it on the streets unless i'm out ripping up the highways. if you see me in the city, i will very rarely change body positioning just because its not worth the effort.

Although I will take a little weight off the seat and onto the pegs when heading into a corner, doing a halfway hang off the bike at reasonable speed seems a bit squidly. But hey, if it makes you feel more comfortable in the curve...

I shift a bit, don't see much need on the streets, I get pretty low on a few corners....no knee dragging though, I don't wear leather pants when riding casual

what kind of turns we talking left turning in a playground zone going 30?
most street riding doesn't really require it... i kind of put some emphasis on the pegs... and if it's rainy or my tires are cold in the morning or late at night in the fall i'll hang a bit just to increase the size of my contact patch that's on the road.
Other then that i usually don't hang very much unless it's a nice turn or something or your trying to catch a left signal or like a nice right hander.
