so which one is correct? by their wording it seems as though the top left is... but I'd say the top right or bottom right makes keeps the bike more upright. :idk:

The top right is the correct form. Although in the bottom right the guys head in in the correct position.

There is no "Right" or "Wrong"...I have used all of those positions....depending on the circumstances. Top right or lower left is what you'll be doing on the track, but all of these positions should be what you practice. Ya gotta remember that unless you live in North Dakota, roads ain't flat; they go uphill, downhill, decrease radius, increase radius, extreme camber, reverse camber, crowned, dished and endless combinations thereof......each of these positions has a place in your bag of tricks.

that's what I was thinking... but the commentary is kinda miss leading

never thought of that... but it makes perfect sense.... :dthumb: damn glad your here man

So leaning off the bike to lower the bike's center of gravity is the important thing when going around a corner. If you can lower it by leaning your upper body and/or sticking your knee out, then that's good. But you know what this means? The thicker the chicken strip, the more upright the bike is, and the more the rider is leaning off correctly.

but that goes back to the top right one saying he doesn't look as cool! :lol:

I'm concered about my street cred for Bike Nights. That is my main concern.

Which is why I buy used racing gear, track take offs and I drug my boots along the ground to make it look like I was peg scraping.

Plus lots of Chrome and Polish so others know I can ride fast.

Appreciate all the info guys. Just need some parking lot time and hopefully one day some track time.

remember when you get the track take off tires... to get their knee pucks also...

So it's NOT that we have a lot of straight flat roads in ND... it's really cause I am a kick ass rider!! :rockwoot:

nope
