Exactly Joe, I think you can over think some things. It's always good to have a plan but there are so many variables when riding a bike and some driver's can do some unpredictable things, even road surfaces can throw your best plans out the window.
Take that corner I met that tipper lorry, the middle of the road was covered with loose gravel so I wouldn't have stood a chance trying to swerve and brake hard on that.
On one of the restricted byways I ride there is a low gate that we hop over on the bike. If I approach this and react to it when I get there, I seem to nail it every time. The last time I did it I over thought when to compress my front forks and forgot to pull my clutch in resulting in a stall as my back wheel locked up on the gate and.....well, it seemed a long way down to fall with my back wheel so high and my legs so short. :lol
This is what I got for over thinking shit
