The click-through insurance ad on the upper right of this

...shows a cruiser rider leaning to the right on a left corner.
This makes the bike lean more than it should... if he had leaned
to the left, it would have made the bike more vertical.

..must be a Google ad. Fortunately, they do not show up in my browser

I know a guy who does this all the time so he can brag about dragging pegs. He
took a sound ragging a couple of years ago when he had someone take pictures of
him in a turn. The bike was dragging but his body was vertical. What a poser!

If you've ever ridden in any kine real cross wind you'll find this is the
only way to keep from getting blowed over...
Specifically crossing South Dakota or on I-80 west bound into Vallejo.

I-90 between Moorcroft and Gillette, my SV felt as if it was
sitting at about 45 degrees to the vertical. Very tiring to
keep pushing on the bars so hard.
