[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 34334, member: 20652"] Bud, I missed your comment that you made right before I posted. I agree with you 100% that being on the pegs is where you should be all the time (unless you’re on the ground and then it’s too uncomfortable). :( Having your inside foot toward the front wheel is only applicable in certain circumstances like a tight corner. You have to experiment to see what works best for you. Every body needs to develop their own style. Look at some of the pro’s riding styles. Maybe not “right” but they’re still fast! I should have said to try and keep your feet on the pegs at all times but there are exceptions to every rule. If your outside foot is toward the front wheel then it is more difficult to weight the outside peg. Plus centrifugal force would tend to pull it outwards and drain more energy. There are probably other reasons but my brain hurts now. Putting anything closer to the front wheel is going to help traction. If your style is to sit in turns and have your foot off the peg then stick it out by the front wheel. The biggest bang for the buck is to slide up on the tank and lean your body forward in a turn which is what I typically try to do. Hey this was fun :) Good luck Kawman ------------------ 40 something and still no direction except toward the track! Short term goal: Go riding today Long term goal: Go riding tomorrow [/QUOTE]
