Busgo.... shouldn't you be loading up the left foot peg for a left turn and right peg for a right ? When I shift my weight on the pegs I'm usually doing it on the same side as I'm turning. Maybe I've been doing it wrong. I'll test it later today when I head out for a run.
As to the hanging off debate.... its comforting to know there are technical reasons why it works.... I just do it because I enjoy it. I do it less now that I've got the Tobin because with a lower centre of gravity I don't feel the need as often. Good topic - thanks spaman. The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob<i></i>
