I could swear in one of the Proficient Motorcycling books it talks about cruisers sometimes turning hairpins into V corners. Something to do with the limited lean angles available on some bikes. That might be what you are doing. I will have a look through the books tomorrow night see if I can find that article I’m thinking about.
EDIT: couldn’t wait, had to go look it up
on page 159 of More PM he mentions that if you are riding a cruiser with limited clearance “you may prefer more of a V shaped line in which you brake toward the point of the V, make a tight slow speed turn, and accelerate away from it ….. A V line really has two apexes, one early and one late. ”
