I usually use my boot as sort of a feeler, then I know how bad my boards are about to scrap, takes the surprise out of it.

My FXDLi saw it's share of peg dragging action but the new Ultra,not so much, I haven't gotten that brave yet. I push it a little more every time I ride but I'm still a ways from scraping the floorboards,lol.

That's correct. You can see deeper into a left hand turn from the right side of the lane, and further into a right turn from the left.

Could be, but I've observed the left turn phenomena on lots of non Harleys.

I like to think I'm a leaner, but I'm still a "new" rider so I don't get over nearly as far as Centerline and Shag67. One day though, I'll have ***** enough to push the bike to its limits.

I would be a leaner, but I own a Softail.
