One advantage on the road of hanging off (or at least positioning the body to hang off) is that it provides a safety margin. When entering an unknown bend and finding a tightening radius, by hanging off you have allowed yourself the ability to lean the bike as well and safely negotiate the bend. If you enter on something approaching full lean, any additional lean is going to run the risk of dragging bits or running out of tyre edge.
I agree mate here ,I aint a great rider by any means but I find it's alot easier to adjust my run if I'm hanging off.
