RE: ticket for cornering too low
i dont think you could get a ticket for leaning over too far unless you were speeding. if your doing the posted limit on a corner, you wont be leaned over too far anyway.
i got stopped for Excessive Acceleration down main street once in my 71 monte Carlo. maybe the 3" dual exhaust with headers gave me away?

That would be a silly ticket that, if ever given to me, I would fight the hell out of.
Reminds me of a ticket my friend got in high school for "accelerating too hard." He didn't go above the speed limit, he just apparently used too much throttle to get there. My natural response to the cop would have been "What is the acceleration limit sir?"

Most curves have a posted speed limit that'slower thanthe limit on the straight aways. If you're leaning a great deal in the turn, you must have the momentum to carry you through the turn without tipping over, i.e. you're speeding. So technically, yes, you could get pulled over for leaning too far, but it would actually be a speeding ticket.

As long as you aren't speeding, I don't think of a way it could hold up in court. You don't need excessive speed to get to the edge of your tires. I mean, you can easily full-lean your bike at under 25 mph, but unless a cop feels like being a monster of a dick, I don't think of a way a ticket like that would stick.

Without speeding I say no. And I know for a fact you can get at full lean at 20mph, and prolly even a lil less.
And I have been leaned purdy good with cops looking on b4, and all I got were those 'Oh we'll be scrapping him up in a bit' looks, but I wasnt over the posted limits so...

That's not correct. Those signs you see posted are YELLOW and are SUGGESTED SPEEDS. Yellow signs are only warning signs. White signs that display speeds are the only ones that are actually law.
