Which way do you lean???

I've noticed other riders (in person and in pictures) techniques or body use while riding.
Some lean into turns well beyond the angle of their motorcycle. Others mirror the angle, and some lean away from the turns.
Since the "norm" of this forum is sharing info I thought that this would be a good topic.
I personally tend to just relax and push my ride through the turns. . . Unless I want to get a little aggressive or find myself in a turn that was tighter than anticipated, then its time to shift the body weight deeper into the turn and throttle up. I've been told by more than one "Sport biker" that I ride my Nomad like a Sport bike in the "Twisties". (especially after I passed them).
Any other "Hot Dog Baggers" out there???
