not sure how you ride Dilligaf but your arms are meant to be relaxed. Also as Marty said at that speed and angle the force against the body and bike does the rest

DAMNIT!! you read my mind!! i was either going to say that or its been photoshopped.

its got to be g-force. imagine gravitron the show ride. (anybody??)if your going fast enough round the corner the weight is actually being forced onto the bike. if you were going slower though and attempted the same lean angle the weight would not be forced through the bike and you would either tip over, or fall off.

As your body comes off the bike you can tend to twist slightly & this will cause the opposite leg to stick out, have a look at my avatar my opposite knee is off the tank & another good example is MadKaw ;)

Inertial force my friends.
That actually makes the direction of "down", as far as his arse is concerned, at the bottom of the tyre.
Thats why Circus Stuntmen can ride around inside a big Cylinder at 90 degrees to the ground.
But if you slow down and lose your "momentum" you drop straight down to the ground, thats called Gravity.
Gravity, Momentum (inertia)
Please please, somebody tell me your kidding around! :? :roll: :kuda:

Centripetal force is what you are describing.
