Showing of just a little bit. This was my last day of the season at Tbolt.

Not too bad. Just have to get my head a little lower.

Give me feed back on my body position.

Toes on the pegs. Gives you more clearance and more available lean angle later.

Which toes? The outside ones?
I ride using balls of the foot on inside and outside, but always see pics of racers and such with the outside kinda on the arch of the foot and pointed a little outward.
This is actually a serious question cause Jase basically convinced me to start doing the track new bike or not, so I want to give it another try and have as much knowledge as possible when that day comes and try to do it all over from scratch the right way.

You're not really wrong Billy that's fine for street riding but as you start doing track days and leaning lower you'll run out of ground clearance so you'll have to learn to keep your toes on the pegs.

Inside foot, toes on the peg. Outside foot, instep on the peg.

Although a lot of times I'm on my toes on both sides, i feel locked in a little better that way.

Yeah, im working on that. Just got aftermarket rearsets. Stocker were really messing me up, too damm low. I'm also changing my foot position as well. I would have my toes on the outside pegs and it wasn't comfortable for me, i ride alot more relaxed with my toes facing out on the outside peg, with the heal on the peg.

Good pic to describe the details.
Now would it be harder or time to get used to switching from inside to outside, like on a switchback, you have to move the feet and position...does it mess you up sometimes?
Or should I dangle my foot like Rossi first lol

Jim, still not planned yet, Will need new pants that actual fit me instead of squeezing my nuts inside my gut.
Then tires, and ready to give it a new try.

We aren't professionals. We don't get paid for this. The only trophies we get are our family. I'd say judging from the ART Basic till now, those rear sets look fabulous!!!!
