I think that might be an artifact of the camera angle.

What I see is that you're lower (therefore lower/more inside c.g.) and more in contact with the bike, with the centerline near your shoulder joint. You're wrapped around the bike with the center of your chest pointing at the longitudinal axis of the bike. Look at the MotoGP aliens and you'll see the same thing.

My bp is getting there, but I'm still too rigid. I really need to work on weight loss and flexibility... at age 56/57 it's tough to do. Still carrying around about 15 extra pounds that I'm having a hell of a time getting rid of.

What I really need to work on most, though, is figuring out what that funny rotating thing on the right clip-on is for. I have a deep-seated fear of high-siding and am way too timid with the throttle.
