Hey, hey... Traffic on this forum seems a little quiet lately (guess everyone's out riding).
So how do you ride your girl? The traditional way, or something a little more kinky? I prefer sitting up, straight back, knees gripping my girl nice and tight. I do occasionally lie on her at highway speeds. Oh, and I prefer balls on her pegs (balls of my feet, that is... on her... pegs).
Cheers, Matt
Some comments from a few older/long lost members as well, perhaps?

lol...
I have 3 main positions on my bike.
In the city I choke up on the seat, straighten the arms, and steer off the shoulders to help the low speed stability. On the highway I'll switch from front of seat to back periodically to shift weight ect, but I keep really loose arms and a very relaxed slight forward lean. ON THE HOON, I typically sit as far back as I dare, to make sure when I fist down on the throttle that it doesn't get squirrelly, and generally have a big curve to the body, but still relatively light on the bars. I'll do some forward shifts in some sharper 35-45mph sign curves and sweepers so I can get a lean-off-the-seat going, and really dig. that's how I roll.

Ride that pony nice and smooth around the city. Up close and personal. On a lonely highway I sit back and lean all the way in. I keep her tight between my knees with my head near front. I love to feel her body close to mine because she's fast and easy.

As upright as possible, I hate having weight on my wrists. I installed handlebar risers but it wasn't enough so I added some more padding with small pieces of aluminium. Still not enough, but any more and I would need to start replacing hydraulic hoses.
EDIT: sorry, I forgot the innuendo - I stick my key in her slot and then ride her at a sensible though thrilling speed.

LOL fellas, I do like to put my knees close to her, so I feel what she feels. My arse is a little more moved back, so I can accommodate my 34" inseam. I like to lean on my wrists so I can feel her balance better, especially at high speed I then lay myself as much as I can on to her....
Good subject tho Matt.
Oh Ball on the pegs and heel on the engine block *GRIN, so I can heel to Jesus !!!
