cornering a Silverwing

First topic message reminder :

The (very nice, thanks !!!) new header picture has triggered me to open this tread.

On 'all' the pictures I've seen, Silverwings seem to corner at a quite modest angle. Since I 've only covered some 1500 Miles so far, and both my spine and wallet are quite fragile, I too have been cornering my SW very gently.

Has any of you experienced tarmac-scratching with the SW, and if so: what part of the bike is touching first?

On footrest-bikes I used to angle my foot out, to 'feel' when it was time to back-off on the throttle, on an scooter this is a bit more difficult...

I understand the Silverwing isn't made for racing, but I am very curious to learn from experience of others, how far it will lean.

When I was into sportsbikes not too long ago at meeting/parking areas you'd always get what I called "the tyre police" inspecting all the tyres to see who wasn't using ALL the tyre when cornering,sad bastards.I've always ridden at my own pace and so far arrived safely.

Brilliant! Thanks for the report...
