Mastery of your comfort zone leads to Zen bike handling

Push yourself to beyond your natural boundaries and you will become more comfortable with your biking.

Comprehensive handling control at very slow speed is harder than at high speed and tests your balance more. Practice all that you did during your CBT, but now on a big bike.

Once you feel you have mastered slow speed control, you may wish to master simple tricks such as Donuts wheelies, endo's and so on, gradually mastering the concept of being at one with your bike.

When you feel you are now up for the next level, introduce distractions, such as fire hoops, perhaps take up jumping and do cartwheels whilst your bike is in mid air.

Then... its time to take on the real challenge and ride through New Deli on a motorbike.

This Chap has achieved Zen motor-biking nirvana.
Having so much control that you can see through your chin bar and control traffic. Hes my mentor.

slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I am getting onto that learning curve. and hope to develop full confidence in straight line wheelies again and power slide a corner SM style before 2010.
