Legal street riding, which I am referring to is a different skill set, it's basically boring compared to what you want to do. Quote:

You probably do that even without the motorcycle. :lol:
It sounds more like an issue of self control than skill in the way you are stating it though. You can make the choice to NOT blast past people, to not tailgate, to be a courteous rider and share the road, that only takes courtesy and manners, not skill. |

Really? Thats an interesting viewpoint.
I would consider them traits you develop as you age but should be something ingrained and taught by parents and learned as part of social growth. I know ya'll think I'm too nice and too PC, but for me, social courtesy and respecting others is a big thing, and applying it to my riding is just an extension of how I try to live my life. Kind of a Golden Rule type thing. I try to consider both sides of the matter. Do I want to be the asshole that scares a possible newbie off the road? And how would I appreciate being the newbie that was spooked off? |
I guess it goes back to the age old question to squid or not to squid?
I save my speed for the track and the track gives me a safe place to push the limits.. on the street I ride pretty casual unless its a back road or something and even then I don't push the limits i just ride at a moderate pace instead of a death crawl like you do around the city.. too many variables on the street to be riding unsafe.. and really i have better things to spend my money on than traffic tickets - like track days and tires.. |

:lol: I've been told I should be in sales, but I cant stomach it.
I see where your coming from tho. Practice always makes perfect. Next time your thinking of blasting past someone who's going slower than you want to be, stop, think about it a minute, relax, and dont do it. After awhile it should become second nature. Same with making an unsafe pass, or darting through traffic in a metro area. Ask yourself if its really a good idea to dart out into that open spot where someone could pop out from a side road and demolish you. |

Right. Even as a rider myself, when I see someone riding like a douche in traffic I secretly hope they learn a lesson sometime, someplace. Douchebaggery like that gives the rest of us a bad image. I dont appreciate being run off the road because someone had a bad experience with some other rider. If you want to ride like its your own personal track, take it to the track, and keep it off the roads where other people have the right to some common road courtesy. |
