On The Street, The Enemy Is....

The road isn’t always the problem, it’s not being prepared for it. Lack of a riding strategy for what’s out there -- weather conditions, traffic volume, knowledge of your route, and where to place yourself in your lane, road, or highway makes a big difference between a great ride, and wondering why trouble seems to find you.

Wet road markings.
If you've been away from the bike for a while take the first rides easy. Your (read my) memories can make you over reach on your ability.

and you don't wanna make SB angry!
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
Hell most people don't want me around when I'm happy.
I'm lonely

Now there's a man who knows his stuff! Not many folk know about D-K
I find I tend to suffer more from imposter syndrome. I wish that was a subtle brag but I find it quite debilitating. It's the worst after I've struggled to learn something, and remember how long it took me the first time, and then I panic when I have to do it again, even though it would probably take me a tenth of the time and/or work.
I'm certain though that I fall prey to Dunning-Kruger as well, I mean, if I said that I never do...well we can see that going in circles, lol.
I do actively try to look for signs of it though, in my own behaviour. I can only hope that it helps me avoid it once in a while.

don't go harder than 70% of your ability, gives you room to adjust your situation if it goes Pete-Tong!
Ah yeah, that's a good rule.
Especially on streets where you just can't be more than 70% sure of what their conditions are.

Too many licenses just given away. People are taught to "pass the test" nowadays rather than learning to ride...
