Leaning versus Knee Down

No Worries · 03-26-2009, 02:04 AM

After replying to Zukimon's handlebar thread in the tech section, I figured out how I can move my upper body weight to either side of the bike so easily. My riding position is almost upright. I'm not laying on the gas tank like the racers. Or like the lay down position all the repli-racer sportbikes force their riders into. I always thought it was my wide handlebars that made it easy to toss my bikes around, but it's actually my upright riding position that makes it easy.
