Seems to be an expert at telling people they are doing it all wrong.

yes - and its one of those things.
Your experienced when you understand that you are in control of the bike and your fate.

Me thinks it's realive.
I did 34,000kms on my 250 in 17 months so I might be a little experienced with a 250.
But I have only done 3,500 in 4 weeks with my 600, so no I am not experienced with this bike.

It's probably got a lot to with what you do with the experience. As in are you collecting and fine tuning riding skills or are you riding around like a jack ass learning nothing from your hair raising momments.

Skidmark?

Not me anyway. Maybe an expert at falling off and going slow, but I'm no expert rider that's for sure. Lots of ks under my belt but I still fuck up constantly.
