This is my new riding position. I should actually post this is stock modifications because this new position adds atleast 7 horsepower... With the feet flailing around on the back of the Ruckus, it makes the rider more aerodynamic.  here is a better/front/bug's eye view. Do you notice how there would be less wind resistance on the body? This responsible for 75% of the horsepower increase.  The streamline effect along the backside slopes the air down my spine, over my buttocks, along my feet to seal the air pocket that I am creating when I reach 137mph mark.  This right here. This facial expression is directly related to the remaining 25% horsepower increase. I'm not quite sure how it affects the performance of the motor. Nor, how it could decrease wind resistance. All I know is that when I make this face, with or without my helmet on, I gain speed. I try to accomplish this feat as much as possible.  |

I wouldn't imagine the seat to be very comfy on you in that position... But maybe at speed, you hardly notice discomfort. Either way, you've too much time on your hands... |

When I reach those type of speeds in this riding position, I'm not actually on the seat. The wind lifts me up to create a flying sensation. I feel like super man on my ruckus (Rocky).

This is a very serious matter. I'm trying to help you guys out. Maybe this should've been in the "tech" section of battle scooter....... |

In my defense: all I'm trying to do here is be "avante garde" about the up-and-coming technology in the adverse affect of wind resistance vs. Ruckus Rider. So far, I seem to get quite a few strange looks when I pass fellow drivers on the road. In fact, I honked my silly litte "excuse me, but, could you please move out of the way" horn and promptly recieved the bird. Now, I'm not talking about the kind of bird that goes "tweet-tweet" and shits on your windshield. It's the kind of bird that says "Sit and spin buddy!!". Or it might say "Go 'F' yourself then your head out of your "edit profanity"!!" Sooner or later, you guys will regard me as a genius. Mark my words. Like my pics illustrate, lay on your belly, kick your feet up and make the face..... The face is what makes it. Now, if you have the cajones (balls) to do it......I wanna see some pics.  |

You are right, it's very important that we don't criticize things we don't understand. I use a similar Ninja method for extra speed but I feel it is too controversial to show on the web. |
