We have a cop in southern Illinois that took a H. D. and floor boards and filmed him riding it. showed the wrong way around a corner and he made I but with trouble. Lean angle was way over. Took it right same speed and lean angle changed 9 degrees. Then took it and shifted his weight out to the end of handle bars and gained 2 degrees more. MAKES A BIG DIFFERANCE knowing how to ride.

Excellent! To be clear Robert, when you say, "Took it right same speed and lean angle changed 9 degrees," did the video explain what he did that was right? Wider entrance? Faster, but shallower turn in? Different line or body position? It's a question of technique, isn't it? 9-degrees is a HUGE difference.

Here is an article about cornering on a cruiser. Probably works for Gold Wings too. :lol:

Be nice to post a video of that, your description is difficult to visualize.

Watch a motorcycle race on TV.Riders lean much farther into turns that the bikes.

OK

Better yet, go up against a motor officer in top gun comp them cops know how to ride. You will lose, unless you have gone thru the course and training they have.

Thanks for sharing this excellent illustration of proper riding technique. The last thing a professional rider wants to do is drag motorcycle hard parts on the roadway. That's for hot dawgs and teenagers.
