Alright so I was reading up on some general riding techniques (Thanks Mister Koz

) and came across a bit when you get in the shit, namely when cornering (why else do you ride a bike?).
It said you have to trust you're bike a lot more and if, say, you went into a corner too fast, you ask yourself is it too fast for you or too fast for the bike?
This is a good point. My bike far exceeds my skill. I know that. But the question is does my lack of skill mean the bike now has less potential?
So if I hit a corner too fast for me I know my bike can take it faster. Does a rider need to "suck it up" and let the bike do it's thing to get out of the shit? Or the skill level of that rider means the bike won't do what it fully can?
This is, of course, forgetting about all the other variables like being a muppet mid-corner.
A learner rider lacks confidence. When you gain confidence, you know you're bike can do more. Is my lack of skill from lack of confidence or actual skills not yet developed?
Just to be clear (everything above probably isn't), I'm not a completely green learner rider. I'm just always looking to improve and fine tune my skills. I think my biggest problem at this stage is confidence in my bike. I just wanna know that if push
really comes to shove, the bike will do it's thing.
Clear as mud
