Sticking foot out in MotoGP

The bars are just there for jerking on for wheelies mcvay.

 

What about tassles??

 

Yes that too

 

I thought the purpose was to create a little bit of additional drag to help slow down...shows my lack of knowledge....

 

There was an article awhile back about it. They said that the same riders, leg in or leg out had the same weight distribution, same braking time, everything the same either way. I think it's just one of those do whatever feels right things for them.

 

probably gets more weight on your butt too, to discourage the back wheel from coming up

 

Oh, come on, Mc Vay! You honestly think that shoving down hard on a solid bit of the motorcycle, below the center of gravity, at the center of the wheelbase, 6 inches to one side of the center line won't make the bike just swoop into an instant turn?
:bounce:

 

Everyone I know with tassles on their leathers are FAST!

 

Let's try it @ Road America T1:lmao:

 

I'll be right behind you with the GoPro going. op:

 

you ever think maybe their "parts" are so big they need to put the leg out to adjust them?

we always say "you gotta have a big set to go that fast"

 

That's Mcvay's job to video people crashing.

 

I guess I'll have to start doing it to make room for my gigantic ovaries.

 

:lmao:

 

It's a trap, those aren't ovaries.

 

Interesting...Stoner does it, Lorenzo doesn't and both are just about equally fast.

 

It really must just fall back to comfort levels. If it works for them, obviously works for Stoner, then there's not much of a reason to try to adjust riding styles.

 

Wait for it ........................


How insensitive ;-p:lmao:

 

I like sticking both legs out just to confuse people.... Always sitting on the bike of course....

 

I'll just start using both legs and both hands in order to increase my surface area. The air drag will slow me down.
