      excellent write up.......loads of info...
      ya I too try to look farther at the xit of the corner or evn farther than that ..if there is no solid wall between..this makes me to judge whether a vehicle is coming or not from the opp side......while taking a look at the exit ..i immediately shift it to the road infront of tyre....this helps in judging the road..as well as judging whether a vehicle is coming from the opp side or not..so u can corner according to the situation

                    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.

                            Well easier test to test dominant eye is : Make a rhombus or oval by joining both the hands, and then stretch both your hands completely. now with both the eyes open, you bring both hands (keeping them cupped as oval) to your face, your hands will not come central but to your dominant eyes, as it is more responsive.

Kick @$$ stuff old fox. i did have a hard time doing those tests to see which is my dominant eye . Am sure vision is one of the more important aspects of motogp and am guessing how deep other aspects wud be
