It takes a lot of practice to be able to move around enough on the bike to hang off with out upsetting the suspension but it is probably much easier for someone who is lighter. Just weighting my outside peg and shifting my upper body inside the turn makes a big difference in my lean angle. I've been riding for 30 years and I have learned a lot since picking up our Ninja's.

Next time ya'll are up in the Mtns we should get together for a ride. My wife and I both have 2004 Ninja's. We rode Wayah Rd and Cherohala Skyway Saturday, about 280 miles total. It was hard to believe it was that cold up on the Cherohala in July.
