Although there are times when this could be dangerous, it's actually legal in many countries. It's illegal in most U.S. states, but California allows it if it's done in a safe manner.

Line: The predicted or preferred path a motorcycle will make through a turn.

Loss of Consortuium: Damages awarded to a family member (usually a spouse) for loss of companionship.
