@Ken: This piece, written by a non-descript motorcyclist, is about adaptation. The author is painfully aware of the ENORMITY of issues involved that need sorting to make these thoughts redundant. Stressful...you bet. Mostly it takes the very 'charm' out of riding. Cannot get worse than that..can it?
@Hitanshu: Oh! Sarkar mayoos hui! maafee!!
On a serious note, there are times we all are guilty of failing to notice the mundane and don't act upon its instance. This is but a feeble attempt at making the that oft forgotten background come up and replace the foreground for a while. Boring - could be. Repetitive - maybe, though this depends upon the reader's level of experience. Necessary - I firmly believe so.
@niks & hellrider: Thanks. Yes, owning up your riding is imperative to getting better at it. And only better riding can ensure your survival in the urban 'wilderness' we ride in.
