Why don't Police riders hang off the seat?

[ChristoT]

To be fair I have never ridden bigger than a 600..but my foxeye has no chicken strips  and I have ground my toes ( not riding wirh commuter feet  ) and too often hit the hero blobs.... but have never had to hang off!!!!!
Good balance and proper counter steer puts the bike exactly where I want it. Plus being seated I find it easier and quicker to get back on the power.

I find I get the power on sooner when I hang off as the bike is already more upright. Plus, it's an easy matter to give the bars a little flick to get you back in the seat - and good fun too!
