went for a short ride w/ my new suit on the freeway.
the knees are totally different. it feels a lot more constricted since im just wearing draggin jeans normally.
the videos are crappy since it was too dark and we had a hard time executing my plans of how the vid will go bec of traffic.

You look very uncomfortable! Try sliding back in the seat more.

Or sit up straighter if you're going to get that close to the tank.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

i only slide back when im really tuck in. im not fully tucked in so i didn't slide back on that pic.
im still getting used to the suit so maybe that's why i look uncomfortable.

i heard tucking in attracts too much attn from cops so i don't do it as much.
besides, when i do need to fully tuck in, i have to be going way above the speed limit on freeways.

I think he means you look like you have to pee.
Anyway I wouldnt worry about what it 'looks' like...if thats how you are comfortable, do it! Also don't worry about cops...I seriously doubt police actively see someone tucked and are more likely to assume you are speeding. Besides, you are already red and we know how much that attracts the traffic cops!
Ride how you are comfortable.
