What's the most important lesson you've learned?

I hear Bad, Bad Leroy Brown is not one to fuck with either.

 

Jim Croce must have grown up in a bad ass neighborhood....

 

I still have alot to learn...
FREE and clean, Ripp'n

 

That stands for Dual Purpose right? crackup:

 

Don't make decisions with your balls, make em with your brain.

 

Nobody sees you... and those that do are aiming for you. :thefinge:

Dirt lean out, gravel box out, pavement lean in, mud power on !

 

I have learned that smooth is faster than choppy and light and slow hands on the bars make for a better riding experience. The information that is below comes from.

A twist of the wrist II by: Keith Code he also has a DVD that covers this book. Both can be found on Amazon.com

Survival Reactions
The enemy is tough but limited in number​

1. Rolling off the gas.
2. Tightening on the bars.
3. Narrowed and frantically hunting field of view.
4. Fixed attention (on something)
5. Steering in the direction of the fixed attention.
6. No steering (frozen) or ineffective (not quick enough or too early) steering.
7. Braking errors (both over- and under-braking).

Survival reactions (SRs) usually affect the arms first. Your arms control: steering, braking, throttle, and influence handling.

Triggers for the (SRs) are

“ In too fast.”
“ Going too wide.”
“ Too steep lean angle.”
“ Concerned about traction.”

There is a FREE CLASS that has been going on for seven years now, It is held on the Sunday mornings the first Sunday of the Month 9:00am.

We start on time so come a little early full of fuel there is a 80 mile ride that ends in Forest Grove, OR for lunch and debrief if you care to join us.

All are welcome we hope you will take this one day a month to work on your skills and if you have all this worked out then come help support others as they learn.

Most important less I've ever learned? Kids can throw hand grenades and shoot guns too.

On a motorcycle, the most important lesson I've learned is that riding above 60% of my ability or confidence on the street is more danger than I am willing to put my family through.

 

When riding behind Harley's and other "vibrating machines" watch for flying parts, mirrors and such...

When stopped at a stoplight always leave enough room for you to dump the clutch and get out of the way from the skidding car come from behind.

Stay out of the middle of the lane at stop lights- (oil accumulates there)

It hurts when the ER nurse scrubs the road rash.

Whenever u think your better then the bike, it will teach u a lesson.

Watch out for boulders in the road. You can jump them, but they pop your tire...

Ride with the gas valve "on" not on reserve.

Put your kickstand up.

 

Ignition or valve?

 

No matter how right you are or how wrong the cage is, it really doesn't matter when you're lying in a hospital bed.

 

"Use the Force, Luke..."

I ride by my gut instinct- if something doesn't feel right- get out of it fast.

If you get on your bike and an inner voice says "don't ride right now" heed the warning.

"The Force" has kept me from some serious incidents....:devil:
