Am I hanging off too much?
 
Lean the bike more? The knee is getting down but looking at this picture it says to me the bike is not cranked over enough, though it feels quick through the bend...

that road looks soooo dirty, be safe :)

I think so you get more used to getting your knee down you will be able to get greater angles untill, well, you know.

other than that, looking good!

and my oppionion comes with a massive disclaimer: Ive never got my knee down :(

Been there done that to the point of cranking over too far on a 180 tyre, just really testing out which feels comfier and faster at the same time.

It doesn't look very far over at all. But that's what you want. Means that you'll have better grip. When I was trying to get my knee down I was constantly scraping the peg but my knee wasn't touching. I gave up in the end because it was getting dangerous

i find it almost feels silly you hanging off soo much! but once its scraped and you get a feel for where the ground is it'll come more natural mate.
