It's the mechanisms in your brain that can really screw you up and you need to train your brain to react the right way. In this situation your brains, and therefore your bodys, reaction was wrong.
Please take the time to watch this, albeit very american in its presentation and very cheesy, there is amazing advice in it: Twist of the Wrist II
It's not a question of learning to go faster on the road. It teaches you how to understand and use the right inputs to control the machine you are using, training your brain to react in the right way and staying safe.
We've all done something and scared the crap out of ourselves or been caught out by a tighterning corner while on our bikes but by having the right reactions, knowledge and skills most of these situations can be avoided.
Take care,
Chris
I've watched twist of the wrist, but there is a difference between watching and implementing and also implementing correctly. I'll watch it again but I need confidence and at the moment I don't feel confident where there are cars and trucks and concrete kerbs.
I'm staying off the road on the bike for a while till I figure out how I can sort my head out.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
