Nope, I said essentially the opposite. I suggested you try standing tall
during a track stand, for maximum potential energy, then dropping to the
saddle. I noted that the reduction in PE does _not_ generate an increase
in Kinetic Energy in that case. There's no mechanism for it to do so.

Sorry you found that confusing; but I'm not surprised.

 Krygowski, you want ME to cite your exact words bereft of what you were actually addressing so I am sure that my exact words were at least as accurate as yours since I was addressing the facts.
 Lowering the center of gravity in a gravity field of a moving body ADDS energy to the mass. Either tell us where is goes or STOP trying to imply it doesn't.

Lowering the center of mass does not necessarily add kinetic energy to the mass. Again, as I said:
"I suggested you try standing tall

You've provided no evidence that tilting over in a curve makes a bike+rider faster, which was the original point under discussion. Your loud and frantic assertions are proving nothing.
