I saw that in my in-bin this morning.

I didn't look closely, but is it ONLY available in print? I.E. are you not releasing an electronic version too?

Well, it's the only Guzzi I've had my foot stuck under while going through the curves in N.GA mtns. Once committed to the curve it's too late, the foot stays under. I ended up riding on the balls of my feet on the Griso. My boots show the wear, ground down on the top of the toe area. The other models I had no problem, the G would flip on over on my foot. Yes size 11.

The sidestand is a useful lean indicator for left hand turns!

I believe that's how you're supposed to ride for best control. It's what I've always done, anyway.

I always ride on the balls of my feet. I feel... "goofy" with my feet mid-planted on the pegs.

And my the outside soles of my boots are curiously shaped from dragging my feet through mountain corners on the V7. For all the hate thrown towards Sport Demons... those things are sticky. Scrubbed right to the edges, never a squirelly moment for me.

Without lookin in the book yet, gotta ask the rest of you....

You fall in the "kiss the mirror" school of body postioning, or the "crossed up" school?

Good preview of book...kiss the mirror body positioning is a major theme throughout the book.

Just ordered mine on Amazon. Expected delivery is April 30. Looking forward to honing my skills!

I too ride on the balls of my feet. When I look at Harley guys with their arms and legs stretched forward I cringe. Is that even comfortable?

jdelv · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2018, 01:57:36 PM »

Thanks for the support, guys. I think people are going to like the unique format of the book in addition to the techniques.

Can’t wait to get the first reactions from folks next week when the books start hitting mailboxes...
