I've spent a good deal of time on the road and the track working on turning skills. I know I'm not the fastest on the street or the track but I'm much more comfortable in corners than I ever was before. I credit that to reading, watching, riding the street and riding the track. Is it a good thing? Sure, but unfortunately when I came ripping around a corner into stopped traffic I realized very quickly that I should have also been working on emergency braking skills. |
i try not to put myself in emergency situation in the first place. i don't wanna be the fastest on the street. i wanna feel comfortable.

yep... keep open mind but you still have to recognize the good and the bad.
