ride today
Glad you two had a good ride today. I enjoy all kinds of roads and showing them to everyone is satisfying on several levels.
I find that keeping about two seconds or more between myself and the person ahead of me, allows me see the road and not get distracted by how the rider ahead is performing. I can focus on getting my entry speed set, have the motorcycle suspension settled, and be ready for the unseen and unexpected around the corner. By not watching the rider ahead, I can do my best to control my bike. If you fixate on the the guy in front of you, or his bike, and he decides to ride off the road, you would be right behind him, in the same tire track. Not good. Maybe it is selfish, but, you are in control of your bike and where it goes or doesn't go. Does that make any sense?
Ridng a motorcycle is very challenging, it takes a lot of concentration. Eternal vigilance or eternal rest, you get to choose.
Thanks for coming along.
