Yea,I've stated this fact too. A still pic doesn't tell you anything for certain because we don't have the context.

Also,the art of motorcycle control is an ever changing one. It wasn't that long ago that Kenny Roberts (my personal hero btw) was the(or one of the) first riders to start using his knee in corners. Everyone constantly gave Spies grief over his elbows and how his style is "incorrect"...3 American championships later...
