You work very hard at creating and maintaining good motorcycle skills, I thought you might appreciate the chance to do so with your writing as well. Sorry if you're offended.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Oh you are so generous. I believe from now on I will have you as my guardiance and correct all my writing so I don't have to feel stupid when I use a wrong word or typo.

Thanks a lot.

BTW, I don't know that motorcycle forum care this much about gramma. I ought to go back to school before joining any other forums.

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

Here's Chris in a 16 foot diameter circle. You can really see the head looking to the destination. Just as important at low speeds, maybe even more. If you relax, like Paul said, you'll notice a huge difference. I also advocate the large parking lot concept. You can make huge confidence strides there.

Here's me inside the same cones. They are layed down because of wind, not because we hit them. The circle is twenty feet, Chris was two feet inside it all the way around. You can see how far inside it I am. My bike has a 55 inch wheelbase, probably closer to henrietta's, than his. His is 63 inches. Hope this helps you. Hang in there, you'll figure it out. You stuck in there for the tough part. This is the fun part. 8)
Ride safe...God bless!
