Re: How to become a faster biker

You talk about lack of confidence that will get you crashed.
I crashed because i had to much confidence (and not enough experience probably).

Next to that, i can agree.

Practise, sensitivity, and an almost psychic ability to predict danger. Reactions helps, but should be the last thing you rely on.

The sensitivity comes in when you learn to push to the limits (yours and the bikes) without exceeding them.

Sometimes I find myself reacting to things before they happen - such as rolling off the throttle moments before someone does a u-turn ahead of you etc. And that does seem to be something that comes with time and mileage.

I think alot of that comes under experience. You know someone is going to do something before they do it because its happened before ,youve predicted it. Someone new to the road wouldnt have this predication without some sort of experience. cheers for the comments
