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.
