Heya old fox! Today I went out riding around here in town at about 6 AM and it had rained all nite the night before and the road conditions were really slipery, the kind of slippery when there is a thin sheet of water on the surface and I was encountred with this deep 120 dergeeish right hander corner and with points in your article in my mind i dropped my shoulder and leant right into the deep right hander marking out the entry and then the apex and the exit with my eyes confidentely and when I last could glance the speedo i was doin about 56 kmph on entry and executed the turn clean carrying loads of corner speed darting out of the corner and onto a straight! Wow whatta rush

Thanks again for the helpful information and looking forward some more helpful articles of this sort.

Amazingly written sir! Perfect for us newbies!

About the dominant eye principle - Would ambidextrous people have an even bigger natural advantage? In all other walks of life that I can think of, ambidextrous people seem to excel directly or indirectly due to their mental flexibility.

Thanks vk. As for the ambidextrous gaining an additional advantage, I am not sure. Have not really seen being ambidextrous as an unusual advantage. Enough right-handed or left handed people around who are exceptionally talented.

Nice write up OF

It's like a bible for the beginners. I would replace the word seeing with scanning. A biker should have an eagle's eye view.
