Run your eyes over ALL the instruments on a regular basis. Indicators/warning lights etc ... It is good to know all your bike is telling you. Even a small change in engine note/sound (when it should have no cause to change) will tell you things ...
I do run my eyes over all instruments, regularly however I'm doing it too often IMO, so too with looking in my mirror, I know it's good to do that but I *feel* like I'm doing it too much. I do it a lot if someone (I know) is following my (crappy) lead but even on my own I do it too much, I think. Cars just seem to come up out of nowhere and I feel that I need to see what's behind me always cause if something in front of me happens, I know how much time I have to react so I don't panic... sigh... I dunno.
Speaking of mirrors, just got on the motorway before and the bloody thing came loose! turned inwards so all I could see was how "boss" I looked whilst riding lol. Bloody nuisance and unsafe, couldn't stop till after the bridge. Fixed now...
Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.
