Can't agree more with the recommendations to do the ProRider course.

I found, about the stage you are at, that I would lift off or think of braking on a reducing radius corner - that's a corner that tightens up on you. That would straighten you up and send you to the outside of the curve. This was the major cause of my STMs (Sphincter Tightening Moments).

Practice the happy biker weave, on a straight road with no traffic ease alternatively on each bar so you countersteer and weave down the road. That'll help you make counterstreering a natural reaction so you'll push the inside bar when you encounter a reducing radius corner. Or find a nice untrafficked set of corners and practice going through by countersteering in and setting yourself up for the next corner using all your side of the road.

Just keep riding, go anywhere and everywhere. I am still new to riding and hanging out untill I get my full licence. When I first started I would ride on roads where there was a good amount of corners etc to practise leaning & countersteering etc & I found that each time I would travel the same road I was noticing that I was going faster through the corners without actually trying. Now instead of holding up the few cars that travel along that road, they are holding me up. If you ride a familiar route often you will notice sections of the road that once were more difficult are now easy to navigate. This is natural progression and it will just happen without you thinking too much about it, as was said earlier, if you are worried about being over confident then it shouldn't be a problem.

Stop riding imediatly! You dont get experiance from riding, you need to read "a flick of the wrist" and "motorcycle donut handbook". Only ride afger you can quote atleast 69 pieces of irrelevant information from these.

P.S. Your riding will improve 76% by removing all your fairings.

You're right, what are we thinking trying to get expert opinion on riding technique. I suppose you were born with the knowledge on how to ride.

OK you got me... This was one of those "go to mitre 10 and get me a lefty screwdriver" hazes for the newbie, was'nt it.

"Question: How fast is too fast when it comes to rider skill progression?"

If you feel like you are pushing some kind of limit when you are riding on the road, then you are going too fast. Limits are for a race track, not a road. Enjoy your riding and don't over analyze.

Maybe spend some time on a dirt bike, have a few accidents, break a few bones and you will soon learn to control the urge to override, worked for me. I have only ridden road bikes for a short time but I am comfortable with my pace and ability, all thanks to dirt bikes. Ride your own ride and be safe.
