Please check my body position and advice in what I need to improve. (I understand that it's also all about what feels better for me)
By looking at my pics, next time I'll try to hang my ass more off the bike and move it back a little, try to point down with my left shoulder in a right turn (or right shoulder going left), relax more, and have someone video tape me to see what I'm doing.

1st time at the track:

I am in no way an expert at all, but from that pic, it looks like you might need to hang off more and try to "kiss the left mirror" more. Well, the imaginery one.

You are certainly sticking your knee out. I'd say try getting your top half of your body off more. You look great in the first pics but the last shots its seems like your top half of your body is over the tank. You look comfortable though and not too crossed up and thats what matters. Nice shots and I love that color scheme of the bike.

Looks good. Practice, keep practicing. Did you scoop that guy up in the blue Yam? Bet you did!

Your body looks a little twisted. Ideally what you want is to have a straight line from the top of your head down to your butt.......like this

definitely twisted. all crossed up on the bike. see how much lean angle you needed? that's because you werent getting your upper body off the bike at all and you were sitting too high up. you need to get your upper body off the bike as well as your lower body. the point is to get the center of gravity as far to the inside of the turn as possible.

great pictures though.

Ero39, You look like the Marlboro man out in front of, "Cheeka." Watch the vid and Moveover'cheeka'zzstar both are over the assplit riders. Marlboro/ero39 are 1/2 ass'd in the middle position. Who has the better posture? Marlboro seems to be ahead...

Use is still lookin' good azz gold, Gue rr sir. Practice/Practice/Practically funny ear ring the comments. Meaning, mine. :dunno :sleep:lol :cheers

lol, no I didn't... he flew by me... he was one of the control riders.

Just a little update... I used to be as close as I can to the tank (as shown in the pics) because for me that was the most comfortable position... now I try to move my ass back and out more, allowing me to put more of my outside knee on the tank and bring my upper body down. These help me with my body position a lot.

Thanks for all the comments

i always thought the rule was to get the upper body off to the side and try to touching most of the tank as possible ...giving more bite to the front.

I definitely agree to hang the ass off more. Remember the knee is only a lean angle gauge for your tires and nothing more. I find too many people focus more on touching they're knee before anything else.
