Found this pic on a 2-stroke/scooter racing website.

Eyes up, head up? Nah....I can see the road by looking down at the ground.

Must be murder on the back!

Rex---Imagine your riding like this for 12 hours. Ouch!

Scoot on.....

Never mind that - you reckon stripping off a leg will help with aerodynamics/power-wieght ratio?

Holy "good eyes" TheJ....didn't notice the "left leg tuck"--well spotted.

Now that must be a tedious riding position.

I guess something you learn in racing.....

I'm guessing he's tucked in for top speed on a straight section. My smallframe doesn't corner well when I sit that far back.
