You don't have to hang off to make a turn, it just helps.

I know you don't have to hang off. The amount of pressure that guy has on his suspension by staying directly on the center line of his bike is too much for me. Sometimes just riding into work, I won't hang off and I just feel so vulnerable in a corner because I stayed directly on top of it. Maybe it's because I'm use to hanging off a bit and it feels 10x better than not.

It feels a lot better to stay in the center of a touring bike to me. I don't like staying centered on the cbarrr at all.
