Fear reaction when cornering

[Katman]

I think it's that when you say chop it down 3 or 4 gears and pulling high revs, the lack of noise just takes that sense of urgency away from you

I won't agree with your reasoning but I'll agree that earplugs certainly help keep me focused on what I'm doing.

Hey you've received lots of good advice so far in this thread - just an abstract idea that works for me. I dicovered by accident that if I wear ear plugs that cut out the vast majority of engine and wind noise (like maybe 85% compared to just wearing a helmet) then i have a much smoother ride on both the road and the track.

I do wear ear plugs - after I learned that permanent hearing damage starts occurring after about 15 minutes of riding at 100km/h, give or take a little. It's only a small amount of damage, but after a while it all adds ups.
