Do you participate in any competition to develop your skills?
Skyliner70cc Hybri,
Emergency stopping, countersteering are all basic skills
Skills 2 cents worth.
Public Go-Kart tracks is a fine and convenient way to practice reflex and basic stuff to.
Lots of split second decsion making. Great fun and ya don't have to own a Go-Kart. I pay for at least 3 succesive rides cos ya just cannot get enough of that type of fun thing. And the fumes/tyre rubber is a fix all on it's own.
One time I drove for a living, from that expirience proffesional drivers progressively develop a "read the traffic" skill thing. It's similar to sports such as football for example, where you often hear a commenatator say, "they read the play well". In a word, providence comes to mind,
(
pro evidence )
But in driving, "read the traffic" or learnig to "read traffic" on a MB, many drivers are not yet aware the MB is traveling at a faster speed than a normal bike. A inexpirienced cager will make a decsion to turn based on a approaching object, that from a distance seems to have pedals, but not yet aware it is traveling faster than it usually is, and not peddling. A slight moment of, "huh ?"
It is at that precise point a MB rider has to determine, "have they or havn't they decided this bicycle is not a normal bicycle" where speed and distance is being judged to take the next action by the cager,to brake or go, where if go is decided, then the MB speed may require
"re-negotiations". All this stuff done in nanoseconds.
Hotels get extra attention at their parking exits for obvious reasons.
Same goes with lights on a MB, I've noticed a cager will get the light's attention far more effectively if it's switched to flashing mode rather than just on.
I have arrived to a conclusion that rather than curse and one-finger-salute most cagers, depending, a peace sign works better, they remember for the next time, and GAIN some level of mutual respect.
