No, that's intuitive...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I intuitively know not to listen to him.

If you're one with the bike you know when something is going wrong AS it is going wrong, instead of waiting for the bike to TELL you it's happening. It's a subtle difference, but having the bike operate as an extension of yourself is a much better way to look at it.

Rather then two entities that are trying to work together. I'd rather be one with the bike then sit on top of a hunk of metal and try to understand what it's saying.
Thanks for translating Sev, it's stupid o'clock here and my brain is just about functioning at the level of "mongol want food"

Only another hour and half until I can clock off and go home! Yay!!
