Hmmm, trying to send pic from phone...
Here's the larger version of our two bikes, Orangepeel's on the left and mine of the right:

Nice matching the cars in the pics.
"To look the part of a dirt tracker"?
You think that's what people are doing when they put their foot out around a corner like that?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
They aren't sticking their toe into the ground FFS. They are sliding their foot along it. Most with a boot designed to do just that. I mean, with a boot to look the dirt tracker....
Look at me!! I'm a dirt tracker!!!

Of course I don't, I'm new with zero experience. If you are on a bike with low dirt bike style pegs then you have to get your foot off the peg for clearance. When you are on a bike with rear sets as most of the newer nakeds you leave your foot on the peg and get your knee down otherwise the GP guys would slide their foot. Of course they probably don't know what they are doing.
If you aren't going to be scraping the pegs on your SM as most street riders won't then their is no need whatsover to stick your foot out, is there? Then it becomes "looking the part".
It's the same as wanna be street racers sticking their knee out when it's still a foot above the pavement on every corner.

you think guys winning races on supermotos at the race track are just trying to look the part of a dirt tracker? ok.
LOL where do you even find a picture like that!?

Wow! That's neat! The little furry fellow on the miniature bike has good taste in bikes, obviously...but can't say I like the leopard print jacket...
The amount of wrong in this post is mind blowing.
Comparing GP riding style to SM riding style is awesome tho... thanks for the lulz RDD.

Very true. Still have the red numbers?
I think it is all about weight distribution. I remember reading a book about trail riding called the Booney Book and one of the things that was stressed was that the weight is going to affect the centre of gravity depending on where it is. So if you have your azz on the seat and your feet on the pegs all of the weight is not in those spots. If you are sitting up then the c of g is different than if you are leaned over even if your azz and feet remain in the same spots.
Sticking one's leg straight out in a turn on a dirt bike helps you through the turn even if you are going slow. It changes the weight distribution or the c of g.
There's a lot of science in motorcycling and because we aren't a science oriented country there's alot that we don't know.
