SAFELY Fast

You say you're measuring against the limit of your own ability to control the vehicle (a car in your example), which answers #1. But I think anyone who rides a motorcycle seriously enough, often enough to understand limits would find the precision you apply to be less than realistic. Basically, you're in control until you aren't.

First, thanks for the reply.

I will have to find out for myself if what you say is true I guess. I will be very disappointed if it's the case. I do realize that the distance between in control and out is narrower for a bike than a car, but I think there is some room there.

What can I do on a bike to learn the same level of precision? The dirt? The rain? The track is unfriendly unless you're going fast...which I'm fine with, once I get to that level of speed...I like to learn all the time, and I'd hate to think it worked great with cars, but won't with bikes.

As for the BS factor...that is the biggest impediment to going fast, and being in complete control. Without complete honesty you cannot improve. I have to be a scientist of the road, seeking answers with impartiality, only favoring the truth. Pushing to excel at anything requires 100% honesty with yourself, or you're giving up advantage to the next guy.

As for people on 17, they don't see me sliding, as I don't go off line, I account for the slide in my line and apex choice. I would consider a slide that a non-expert driver could see a mistake, and I would slow down for a minute to explore exactly why and how it happened. A report must be filed. Answers must be had. It's an endless job, thank god. :party

OK, I'm done, I will try to listen more than talk in here.
