Leaning the opposite way or staying upright is a life threatening habit that you want to get away from. If you are in the habit of doing this - you response to a threat is to accentuate this and lean further away - which grossly upsets the balance of the bike. A road bike is not like a dirt bike when cornering........believe me - I have fallen off dirties every weekend for the last 2 months trying to ride it like a road bike.

Hanging off the opposite side of the bike it NOT an adviseable way to corner - esp if you want speed. Check the very vids you posted and see how many lean the opposite way to the bike.
Yep I agree with not leaning out of a corner. On the road i couldnt imagine any situation you would want to do that.
