Re: Our greatest fear as bikers...
Greatest fear? People who can't see me even though I'm right in front of them.
Biggest challenge? Curves.
Biggest problem? Well, not exactly a problem, but my biggest responsibility; maintaining constant situational awareness.

Re: Our greatest fear as bikers...
Biggest fear is getting too old and infirm to ride a bike, living to an age where you need to wear nappies and don't know whether you have "poo poo" them or not.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

Eaten by a bear.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Re: Our greatest fear as bikers...
1. What are our greatest fears, frustrations and anxieties as motorcycle riders?
A. Going into a decreasing radius corner too fast
2. What is the most difficult thing to learn when riding a bike? What are our biggest challenges?
A. When first learning to ride it was clutch control. The biggest challenge was starting on a steep uphill without rolling back.
3. What are our biggest problems as motorcycle riders?
A. Not being seen by other drivers.

Re: Our greatest fear as bikers...
I'll get to old or weaken and have to consider hanging it up.
I learned a long time ago Injury is usually preceded by "hey watch this" so that isn't a problem and I am confident whenever I ride wherever I ride, I do not fear any part of riding but I do respect that some are's may cause problems for me

I'll have to agree with your sentiment on this one... Only other thing that scares me, is that I might have to sell my bike if times get tight. Retirement is looming in the near future...
