Start with the simple stuff.

Butt off, head over the middle of the bike = crossed up.

Are you crossed up?

The point of getting off the bike is to move the center of gravity of rider plus bike, so the bike can stand up more.

Your head weighs as much as a bowling ball. And that's just your head. What do you think your upper body weighs?

Think about that for a minute. What should you be focusing on with your body position?

I was watching MotoGP today and studying body position. I noticed that when Marquez is off the bike, you can see the freakin' gas cap under his armpit. His upper body is COMPLETELY to the inside of the bike centerline.
