I leaned over the farthest yet (chikenstrip pics at end) and spent 25+ min at this exit practicing/testing my leaning and braking. I just need to find some lefthand turns somewhere.
If you really wanna practice without risk of being a speed bump, get the lee parks book and set up the turning drill on a closed range. You'll be knee draggin in first gear in no time.
I don't get low very often but it felt real good doing it once I got in a groove and had a clear road. I am definitely dreaming of track days. I should get that book.

+1 on the Lee Parks book. I've done a few miles at a time doing figure 8s in a parking lot. After that I started to feel awkward going into a corner without hanging off the bike with a knee way low. There's been plenty of big, vacant parking lots to choose from in recent years in my area in the industrial parks. Be sure to practice other skills to! You're not stopping hard until you get a feel for the back tire coming up a bit.
