I mean I know basic things like using my knees against the tank, being easy on handle bars, slide to the back of the seat when accelerating. But it gets more complicated when riding, especially in the city, because different situations require different body position techniques. I struggle being consistent, sometimes under pressure I make mistakes. City riding so unpredictable, I mean one moment you're on the gas, but then emergency braking, then swerve, sharp turn and accelerate - just this example requires so many body positioning changes. If I ever would take an advanced class, I would definitely spend time on this topic. I’m working to improve by body positioning.
