Good Find...

8. Don't hang off in the corners or tuck in on the straights. Sitting sedately on the bike looks safer and reduces unwanted attention. It also provides a built-in safety margin.

I agree with this one to a point. There are alot of poorly maintained roads around here that I take plenty slow but still hang off. I like the bike upright when it has climb and descend everest.

I agree. I lean (not hang) off my bike for almost every curve. But Nick wrote that in 1993.
