Using the camera angle I used, it's tough to tell just how far I'm hanging off the bike. Compared to most track-day attendees I'm hanging off like a monkey. Put a less experienced rider on my bike w/ this camera & their chin & shoulders would probably never leave the field of view.
With that said, you make a good point... I'm NOT hanging off that far... you don't have to hang off all that much for it to be incredibly beneficial. Get your shoulder over your gas cap, your chin pointing through the turn & your ass 1/2 off the seat like I'm doing & you're doin pretty good. Anyway, how far I was hanging off wasn't the point of the video... the things I was trying to demonstrate were listed in the first post.

Not everyone does. If it works for you then who cares. Everyone's so concerned with hanging off and making time...just have a good time. Thats what matters.

Oh I agree with that completely! I was hoping some "words of wisdom" would help me get a feel for my bike again...

Tigger, if you have specific questions about how/how much to hang off or if you want me to share some general tips on the subject, just ask. Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but it seemed as though you're criticizing instead of asking for advice.
