    But it's the people who read about Beyonds 'zone' and try to prematurely replicate it that place themselves in a high level of risk.

    The zone that Beyond is taking about is something that may well come to an individual in their own good time but searching for it is not something that should be actively promoted.

    We agree!!!! That's what I said about finding it.... practice and practice and then one day........ the zone!

    No, we don't agree.

    You are actively promoting it and encouraging people to search for it and that will inevitably lead to more motorcyclists dying.

    Leave people to discover 'it' for themselves (whatever 'it' may be for the individual).

    Oh fuck me. For that matter - your constant bleating does nothing to help. You just become noise. Something to ignore.

    Go tilt at windmills or something.


    I call "troll".


    Now, I'm off to write a post about how I really like Vodka. With any luck I'll create an alcoholic or two.

    Don't think it's Beyond's zone actually, I believe anybody is allowed to go there..
    Great place it is too..a place of complete focus and concentration and heightened awareness that makes all who venture there better riders..

    That elusive ZONE!

    Hmm, I think I know what you mean beyond.

    I have read all the above posts and you are all quite correct in what you think and say!

    Well at least from your own perspectives anyway.

    From my own perspective and interpretation of the meaning of your post, beyond, I agree with you, completely!

    Once one finds and experiences the "zone" of which you speak, it takes on an attraction of orgasmic proportions!

    A place and time in life that you want to return to, again and again and again......and again!

    That zone is what has kept me riding motorcycles of all shapes and sizes for 55 years!

    It doesn't matter so much as how you say it that counts, it's how you do it!

    You can only continue to do it again if you are still alive so carefully managing the extreme edge has to be the "main" objective.

    It is my intention to keep on visiting "the zone" for a long time yet although admittedly "mine" may not be as bright as it once was!

    I dont feel there is any thing wrong with this, or that if people read it correctly and in context that they are straight away going to go out and kill themselves on their bike (unless they are thick).

    This seems to me to be what most people are griping about.. I dont think this is at bad either... if fact the opposite... I had my best day on my bike by myself being very careful about breaking "the rules in my head that say im going to die". This did not mean that i was going fast or riding recklessly... just that i was breaking my rules and reaching past my normal boundaries and ride past my fears. Oh wait.. thats what it says.

    I had the absolute!!!!!! best day that day and totally knew i was in "The Zone". I was on a high for the rest of the afternoon.

    The next weekend i wasnt.

    Good contribution dude!

    Ahhh, you've found it then

    and yes.... it creates better riders.

    I hope to be enjoying it as much as you when I get to your "young years."

    Enjoy my friend.

    FFS - there will be no shortage of people who will chime in here to say they know "exactly what you mean".

    My problem is the fact that you're promoting something that should not be part of any accelerated learning programme.
