But really, are you a good rider, or do you just know how to work the controls? Do you feel the bike, or do you just know what to expect? Do you notice when it smells unhappy? On the freeway? Do you hesitate to ride out into the rain and cold because it’s dangerous and you don’t really think you’re capable of doing so safely?
Realize, it’s never safe. Do it anyways, and do it as safely as you can. The more you expose yourself to, the less will surprise you.
It’s a lifestyle change. Just Do It.
