Leaning
Not sure about you guys but I find myself having to lean to keep the nanny from kicking in when my tire picks up. I've got a lead foot and corner pretty fast though. I also like the feel and the look of a hard lean but maybe that's just me.
Any of you old guys find a need to lean? ;D

Re: Leaning
I lean in turns also. Forward and in, while pushing my foot against the outside peg. I got into this habit riding my TW200 trike conversions. They are narrower, taller, only weigh about 300 lbs, and no auto stability system (I'm the nanny there).
Since I also ride those off road, a lot, I'm used to using "body english" on off-camber sections or highly uneven terrain.

Re: Leaning
Yep. Can't help it. Previous ride was a hack. (It's for sale if anyone's interested!) Got into the habit of leaning everytime, now I can't seem to not.

Re: Leaning
Gotta lean, forward and in, to corner well. Maybe even move your butt over in the seat. I'd say slide it, but the seat's too grabby. Like a sidecar, though, shifting your body makes a huge difference.

I agree with Scotty, but after I put the BRP seat cover on, the grabbiness--at least wearing jeans--was lessened and I could slide to shift weight better.
