Hi Dave, I do 1:34s at Streets on my '95 F3 with the stock pegs and do not drag them. Since the 600RR pegs are higher than on my F3 I don't think you should be dragging them...my guess is that you are not hanging off enough.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "wave" but perhaps there was something on the road? Personally I don't hang off on the street simply because you may have to change your line suddenly on the street...there is debris, idiot drivers, animals running across the road etc. Hanging off makes you more committed to the turn which may be a great thing on the track but not too wise on the street...plus, there is no need to even hang off at streets speeds.

thanks for the feedback. I have signed up for Level 2 on June 12th at Streets of Willow

Hello, former CSS student here I have been riding track for just a little over two years and although I have improved a lot I am told my body positioning is not quite right. I feel comfortable with my hangoff style, but if I am doing something wrong that is affecting my performance I would surely like to know. Here is my question. Is body positioning so incredibly important as most people make it out to be? I have heard things like "your spine should be perfectly parallel to the bike" etc. yet I have seen pictures of Doohan and Bayliss with a spine positioned crooked to the axis of the bike. What is the truth to this? My second question is regarding the pics of myself I have attached below. What do you think I should change? I have been told that I hang off too much, I feel comfortable doing it, so is this necessarily a bad thing? Thanks very much, any advice is appreciated Planning to sign up for CSS Level 2 soon! - Kevin
