Not bad Swift!  My main recommendation would be to try to get your upper body lower, as you look like you're sitting fairly upright. Like you said, you don't need to hang off that much...one butt cheek off the seat is enough. Not a big deal though IMO. It's important that your comfortable, so if you are, then all is good. The good news is you aren't crossed up. You are a little on the right hander, but not terrible. How good my form is depends on the corner...long, fast ones and I look pretty good - slower, tight ones and I tend to be crossed up (like a lot of riders). I wouldn't worry about your feet either. What your doing is OK. When you start dragging your toes you'll figure out a way to tuck your foot in more. Ya I get it. I'm 6' tall and I'm scooted all the way back. I can get lower but have to make a hard conscious effort to do so. Will take some practice and getting used to this bike. I will work on not hanging off my lower body as much and more on the upper body as it's more practical for the street as well. Palmer is pretty technical. Totally new track this year and trying to figure out the lines. Most of the corners are either late apex or double apex. Plus it's got 190' of elevation change and it's mostly in the corners. Here's an aerial shot  |

It does...looks to be a little lacking in the run-off area though.

It is fun and it does lack some safety features. They're actively under construction. But this is a trackday track, not a race track. And primarily a car track. We are told to ride well within our limits around 60-70% as a result of that.
The track layout is just amazing. Like a favorite loop in the mountains of Vermont.

Nice to see you staying on your side of the line. It can get dicey if you don't.  |

Good form in that you're nice and straight, and your head is low. I don't think you need to hang off that far though. 1 butt cheek is generally all that's needed.

When I do not hang off so much I scratch my stand on left and my rear brake lever on right.. So I hang off more to increase speed without scratching anything... Thanks a lot... I enjoy it so much..

I just want to say this thread is excellent! I don't have the luxury of photos of myself but analyzing others have made me notice that I am more crossed up than I thought I have been. It doesn't help I came from an MX background and got into road riding maybe a little late so any help is good.
