OH MY GOD!!! This is a family forum, man! That's pretty funny though. I guess their team's sponsors are pretty proud of their "packages".

Definitely up (and outta the way). Also, it likes to watch the road ahead for potential crashes.

I think riders in the northern hemisphere go left and riders in the southern hemisphere go right. Its called the Coriolis force. Something to do with the rotation of the earth.

There are more posters from the northern hemisphere causing skewed results.

I guess I ride with 'lesser' men. I've never seen it quite so dramatically displayed as that pic.
