Why don't Police riders hang off the seat?

Its a good idea to hang off when you are short of clearance.  The FZS600 grinds out when you are far enough over so you really aught to hang off of back off just before that point!

Holy shit, how far over do you go :eek ? I have regularily edged out the rear tyre on all 3 of my boxeye's in the past, and have never grounded it once in over 100k. You must be going some to do that!! :guitar

Pretty far, I'm guessing! I regularly grind my toes on the tar, but only scraped my "hero blobs" (as Exupnuts calls the doodahs on my pegs) once, when swerving violently to avoid an Audi when I took a corner too hot.
