I'm betting Jarno refined the technique. Paul Smart hung an awful lot off the bike.



great work on that piece Memper, is it a wash?

"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
"Don't piss off old people The older we get, the less 'Life in Prison' is a deterrent.”

I'm still thinking Jarno

"...In order for Jarno to ride his "hang-off" style, he lowered the clip-ons (handle bars) and excessively angled them downwards.  Initially he got this from his previous experience as an Ice Racer in Finland before he started road racing.  After Jarno's death, Kenny Roberts adopted this style and perfected it for road racing...."

Taken from here: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~peer/racer-jarno.html

Apparently Kenny gives credit in his long out of print book: "Techniques of Motor Cycle Road Racing". He states (here say, I have not read it) that Kel Carruthers introduced Kenny to the Fin style of body technique.
