Styles of cornering

[rodmcm]

At my leisurely place thorough the south island at Xmas I noticed that there were basically three styles of cornering, (A) move your body and the bike follows (B) stay parallel with the bike (C) Body relatively upright, bike moves under body.
It seems to me that there is a place for all of these, certainly I use B and C being of the older age group, but was interested in other peoples comments. Also I know it has been thrashed in this forum but it seems to me that the reason many riders have problems with right hand turns is that they are trying to countersteer and accelerate at the same time.

Comments?

One generally observes the advocates of (B) and (C) tending to run out of lean angle and fall off.

And advocates of (A) running out of road and falling off.

Man and machine, dude. Time and terain.

There's a place for any given bike where every style you can imagine, (and a bunch you wouldn't believe) will work better than any given formulaic method imposed by the local fashion police.

Live and let die mate.

That's what I always imagine when I see a sign on the motorway that says "LANE ENDS"......or some kinda brick wall or something...
