Riding position

So what is your favorite non conventional riding position?

IE when your riding long distances

On my ridding boots there is an edge about 1/2 up the boot and I like to hang that edge on the foot peg and ride with my feet off the peg, sometimes easy to stretch that way

My frame sliders are in front of the engine and low. So on slow slabbing trips I can put my boots there just like freeway pegs.

On his Blackbird, Chad puts his feet back on his rear pegs and lays on his tank/tankbag. I bet he could fall asleep it looks so comfy.

I liked to rest my head on my left hand. I would put my elbow on the tank and chill. My frame sliders werent big enough to use as a foot rest.....i had tried many times. Each time, I hoped that I was wrong the last time or my feet had shrunk...

I kinda scoot back into the seat left hand on my left leg and lock my right on on the throttle and ride. For those long slab rides

That's two of my favorites Nick & Angel. Got to mix it up so my throttle/brake hand doesn't fall asleep.

During trackdays, it never fails to have my throttle/brake hand fall asleep after 15-20 minutes. I tried not to grip the throttle tight, but it still happens. Good thing for 20 minute sessions.

I know exactly what you're talking about Stacy. When I'm on the 600rr and wearing the track boots, there's a lip on the boots half way up my shin big enough the catch the pegs. That's usually how I ride around the paddock.

On the long slaps I lay forward on the tank bag and move my feet back on the passenger pegs. Or I'll lock the throttle and lean back to stretch every now and then.
