I notice with the more experience I get... the more I love to lean into turn, to the point where I think I might be lean just a little bit to much. I think I do it for the look. I have a mirror reflective shield on my helmet if I am not wearing the smoke, I and think that people in vehicles wish they were me..leaning in and out of turns?? do any of you get that feeling..

My eyes light up when I come to a curve for two reasons....1) Iowa roads are generally squares and right angles, so I have to take advantage of every one that I find, and 2) turning on motorcycle is an exhilarating feeling.  It's something specific to this sport and people who don't ride will never understand how great a feeling it is unless they give it a try.

Before I starting riding, I was driving behind this dude on a Gixxer coming up to the model twisty stretch of road (4 lane where each direction was separated -- i.e. no worries of oncoming traffic).  I saw him go through these huge curves at speeds that would make my acura roll.  The lean angle and skill of the rider made me jaw drop.  It made my craving for a motorcycle grow immensely stronger!

Yea, I feel it too. A few times I've come around curves where a harley just went off the road. The look on those peoples faces is the best ever. You know they're thinking "If only I weren't so darn scared of those things" deep down. Not that you can't lean in a cruiser, i got one of those too, you jush can't lean "impressively". Still, more fun than poppin wheelies if you ask me.
