Time to bare your souls, well if you want to If you were asked to analyse your best three things that make you a good rider what would they be ? If asked what would be the three areas where you could be better, what would you choose ? Mine would be - Good - Reading the road, fast reactions and a bit of fear. Could be better - Faster cornering, more control on harsh braking situations, more regard for speed. So what are yours ?
Oh, bare OUR SOULS,......thought it was summat else. I'm good at: Crashing. Think im good at: Mid corner speed awareness of dickhead car drivers. Could improve: track position Corner entry Corner exit. The last point, exiting, I have mentioned since nearly highsiding myself recently. Still getting used to a litre bike.
Good at Smoothness - track or road observation banzai braking and mid corner throttle control riding with my head not getting baited by peeps going to quick on the road could improve on flicking the bike up a bit earlier to maximise time spent on the gas on the roads used to 600's and 250's LOL getting there though track wise confidence sticking it up someones inside tend to always favour the outside of peeps 2 smoke style on my 675 haha maybe work on my body position a bit more to but not the be all and end all as It's pretty close
Good: I enjoy milfs, and redheads Bad: Must not enjoy Ken, or Giv at the same time AGAIN!! But really. Good I like to learn, and not just in feet first. try and get better and push what I feel I may be able to do and the bike. Smoothness and wanting to learn better throttle control Bad: Fell there is a copper around every corner. But say thing no points ever is a good thing. Over analyzing everything still unsure about the rest
i am good at reading the road ahead fast round corners good at judging traffic ahead i do spend at lot of time analyzing other riders techniques and understanding of how they ride I am not trying to say i am brilliant with my riding but i don't really see any major flaws with the way i ride The 2 problems i do have is one getting book... hell that would be.... the other is my partner has her own bike and comes out with me and sometimes other young car drivers in our area have been bit of a dick so i sometime am a bit over protective
Remal said 'Bad: Must not enjoy Ken, or Giv at the same time AGAIN!!' Remal - How do ken and giv feel about this......and do they think you are a good rider ? Some interesting posts so far, nice to see some of you are not shy
Well after a hour and their jaw lock went they said I had a huge "....... Ahhh better not say more lol
Good == Very good at reading the road /Quite good in fast corners /also last minute braking . Bad ie habits = Will take the bait every time (rarely fail) ride to fast / crap at very slow corners / Try to get the knee down at every available moment and fail. Always run to the head of traffic lights and sqeeze in ,seems to get folks excited .Take the bait at traffic lights for drag race.
@Remal...........you could be right there, we might get the right.......I er mean wrong idea @Givover...Yep the traffic lights thing is so impossible to resist, even more so when it's a car ! just what do they think they are driving ?
Good: Traffic awareness/reading (predicting what other vehicles will do before they do it) Filtering (a given, if you ride anywhere in/around the M25) Bad: Body positioning Short-shifting/Not utilising upper range of revs Plan to do more track-based training to improve.
