And honestly, get yourself a decent tutor/trainer and do a few courses AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE (the ride right ride safe course for one). And do reading of books. Specifically and most importantly, learn what counter steering is, and DO IT consciously for as long as it takes until it becomes subconscious.
Biking is ALL about technique. Poor technique is poor control, and lack of confidence. Riding while being unconfident in your abilities to control the bike is damn scary and takes away from the pure joy that is avialable otherwise. And with good technique, even a relative newbie can ride better than some "experienced" riders that have retained bad habits because they have never bothered to get off their ass and think/learn a bit more....
You can tell these riders on the forum by their comments:
"Dont overthink it - just ride"
"Its not a science lesson, just go out and do it", etc.
Man you sound like such an egg roll
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
