That body positioning article always bugs me too, cause it seems like it's more about getting your knee down to "look cool" as opposed to the correct technique...

Which of those pictures is closest to correct?

To my eye "correct" would seem to be about halfway between their "Rider hanging off below the bike" and "Rider crouched right down.

I know I've read over and over again you shouldn't be inline with the bike's center line and your head should not be looking through the windscreen. As stupid as it is on the street lately if I feel like hanging off I've been making a point to get my head outside of the fairing.

edit: Doesn't help that it mentions the calling card of stupid "pop physics" too...
