Yes but that begs the question: Why did you end up that way in the first place ??
The LAST thing that should lean at an extreme angle is the bike. The objective is to keep the bike as upright as possible at all times. That means leaning your upper body first instead of last.
I had a problem with that for maybe 15 years of my riding life and it is a hard habit to break. I still find myself with body upright and bike leaned sometimes.
(With a top speed of ~70 mph, it really isn't THAT much of a problem though!) :biggrin:
