When do you hug the tank?

[nolimitbodnar]

If I'm riding around slow, like 35-40, I usually stay upright. When I'm on the freeway, I crouch down onto the tank.

Is there a certain speed you guys usually crouch down?

I tuck down a little if I'm going over 70.

sometimes i'll start to tuck in when i go over 70, but almost always when it's over 80.

When my back and arms get sore.

Almost always! It is more comfortable and less drag...plus...I don't get blown around 113 pounds is difficult to keep on a bike upright.

usually i hug the tank right before I get on the bike. then i stroke it and tell it how much i love it. what a good bike










seriously, it depends on the situation. If i am on the highway and floating thru traffic, I'll sit upright until I hit around 80, even towards 90 sometimes, other times if i get tired and it is a straight line w/o cars and shit in the way, I'll lay over the tank just for a break.

There are two times I 'hug' the tank (it's more of a lean over type thing):

When it's raining
When the throttle is pinned open

[brentsR6]

above 80 or so i tuck

[kawagirl]

Usually around 80, when I am passing an oncoming truck.
