Riding posture and brake levers

So, I get passed today by a guy on a CBR 919. He had this interesting positioning on the bike. He had both of his heals resting on the pegs. His left leg was turned toe outward. At first I thought that he was just trying to get some air flow to his boys but after I got back up beside him I noticed his feet and realized that it was so he would not be resting it on the shifter. He also didn’t have a rear brake lever on the right side. The honda website looks like the 919 has a brake lever. Wonder if he had it removed because it was in the way. Oh yeah, only wearing a helmet.

July 30, 2008 at 7:59 am #9585JirikiParticipantfrom what i’ve heard, toes/balls of the feet on the pegs… keeping back of feet against the bike…. this helps you when you grip the tank with your knees as you decelerate…
maybe he was just a cruiser rider at heart?
as for no rear brake lever, he may have a system that applies front and back brakes at the same time… but i’m just speculating on that one
