Just a little input here on the pic...
For those that don't know TufBusa is a track coach! When he offers free advice you might want to take note... There are a lot of guys that have ridden BEHIND him or been passed by him and let me tell ya this is a guy that has the best interest of the members in mind.
Whats wrong with this pic... While it might be just a one time thing going around the corner Tuf identified that when you have a bike like the busa leaned over that far and your sitting almost straight up you are riding close to the tires sliding out. There are many reasons to get your body position low and off the bike is to allow the bike to sit up straighter not to necessarily drag your knee. If you take the corner riding on top of the bike and you take it at a high speed you increase the risk that your going to lose it. Simply getting lower and off the bike instead of on top of it will let the bike sit up and also change the weight distribution allowing the corner to be take at the same speed.
I am still learning, I have read the right books and go to all the track days I can. I can tell you that my body position was just like the pic above, when I started to listen to Uncle Steve, Macon454 and TufBusa.
I quickly figured out that I can go around corners faster, smoother and more consistantly... I am still a work in progress but I guarantee you that I am light years better than I was at riding.
Don't take it personally just know that Tufbusa just doesn't want to see you go down...
