Have you got natural balance?

[skippa1]

the best way to test your balancing skills for riding a motorcycle, is to ride a motorcycle. If you go to move and you fall off in 5 seconds, you should consider crawling on all fours everywhere, if you fall off around 10 seconds, you should only ride on your driveway, if you fall off in 30 seconds you may venture into the street, but only a block at a time.

But only when you can walk on the rice paper without leaving a mark will you be ready.

How does that work out for Kamakazi Pilots or Suicide Bombers??

[Road kill]

45 SECONDS,,,,less than average for a FITA archer.

So what's the point ?

[Fatt Max]

3 seconds but I was wanking at the time

Was that the only way you could keep your eyes closed?

[Oakie]

12 seconds left foot, 34 seconds right foot and that was after three gins. Happy with that.

[Katman]

Do you have to stand up when you do it?

11 seconds, both feet, wobbling like shit. I wanted to blame the fact my cerebellum isn't what it should be ;p. But I tried it again, there's a secret- KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! I did 25 seconds on my right foot. and about 12 on my left. The next time 32 seconds on my right and 18 on my left. Does this mean I am a future champ on right hand bends? My left side sucks lol.

I can ice skate (well I used to) and I was all good with that, didn't fall over (well maybe on my first lesson) So I don't see why I should be really shit on a bike. Must say its a good test though!

there's a secret- KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, me thinks this also applies if your riding a sports bike , you will turn right hand corners faster than left hand corners, but you will never be a rossie

No.

By practicing for several hours a week I can eventually improve my balance to the point that I can walk without falling over. At such an extreme state of advanced training I've dabbled in surfing, Judo, skiing and motorcycle trials. Uniformly mid B grade.

Both ankles have been damaged pretty badly, but that's only part of it. Just the way it is I guess.

You sound old and worn out

That too, but my balance was never that flash.

Must dig out the wobble board...
