Default Riding Position

I have adopted a new riding position that I really like for in-town riding. I am now kind of getting my tailbone on the ridge between the driver and passenger seat (not on top of it, but pressed against it), which makes me lean a little bit forward. It feels more aggressive, and I like that in town. For highway or general cruising I think I would use the normal seating position in the middle of the seat.

Just curious what everyone else does.

Thanks,
Andy

I scoot around for comfort. Sometimes I'm closer to sitting upright, other times I sit closer to the ridge between rider and passenger seats. I've got back and tailbone issues so the extra wiggle room gives me added comfort and ride time.

I'm with Sass. I move around on long trips. Coming from a sport bike background, I tried putting my feet back on the passenger floor boards until I realized that the brake pedal is pretty far away when I do that.
