Based upon my very limited knowledge of track riding posture etc, are you sitting quite upright?
I'm quite tall, 6ft 4" and nearly 15 stone with a false leg. I could do the head by the mirror stuff and hang off like a Gibbon if I was racing. I do OK otherwise.
I guess i'm just used to seeing people hunched over. Unless you're like me and stay in the 'ready for the emergency exit' pose....

I want this so much it hurts!
I had a look around at all the Harleys at the dealer, love the Heritage Softail but not ready for it.
Very comfortable and the finish was excellent.
I took a Speed Triple out straight after to tick it off the list. Unfortunately it was absolutely ace, everything about it rocked. Next years bike choice is going to be very difficult. I want them all!

I like the modern take on HD, its still fresh looking and far better looking than the Diavel.
Anything is better looking than a Diavel, even Mrs Blair!I just don't like the plastic bucket on the front of the frame, apart from that I agree they look good. No way to hide that rad though which means they aren't for me. I'd be looking more towards older HDs like FXRs & stripping them of the shiney weight. If you do go HDwards, the stock tyres are horrid, ever lasting blocks of wood. Most people I know who actually ride HDs replace them with Avon Vemons. Oh & Stage one kits are essential to make the engine work.
Just going through my Goodwood Revival pics, and there's a few bikey ones:
Just learned how to do this. Expect a theme in my future pictures :

MV and (Rutter on a) Manx Norton:
Undisputed superstar of the show. Troy Corser aboard a pukka, ex-works BMW. They managed third overall on this 1930s rigid BM, up against much later, more 'updated' for racing machines:

I had an R1 just like that and every time I see a picture of it now I can't believe how far back the seat unit extends. It must just be that the current short tail section is the fashion at the moment, but it makes bikes from the early 00s look MAHOOSIVE!
For the record, it is a lovely looking bike. Personally I'd go with an exhaust bracket that is a little less shiny, but then again I am a w
e when it comes to carbon fibre.
