Title: What was Jake Zemke doing?
Post by: motomadness on March 29, 2004, 07:25:54 PM
I am watching a tape of the D200, and somewhere near lap 34, Jake takes both feet off the pegs as he approached the tri-oval.  He kinds of placed them near the rear tire.  

Was this a relaxation move?  Does anyone else do this?  What the %uck was he thinking?

I remember following a magazine staffer up Hwy. 1 to Laguna who was riding a new Buell in '95.  He was hangin his legs off the same way and when I asked at the next gas stop, he said his feet were falling asleep from the vibes!  I have once or twice gotten a charley-horse in my hip while riding and had to stretch but never near 200mph!
