- Need to scoot back and get my chest and head down. I'm not hanging off nearly far enough.

Those who know more than me... what do you see?
Drew, as a pilot you know how air currents affect your plane. They same thing happens on the bike. Hang a leg (start with a knee) out and it will cause the bike to drag on that side thus turning in that direction. You also have to use that tiny windshield to hide behind (get out of the wind). You used to have to pop up from behind the windscreen to help slow down but brakes are so good now that you don't have to do that anymore. Just use your body to help direct that missle you're riding.
