On topic: level headed, doesn't adopt a peer-pressure mentality, rides within ones limit and seeks to improve without taking unnessessary risks.

Hehehehe, steeling another thread is fun, she on the scooter?

I must disagree, I ride with level head, and seldom freak out at running wide, or coming in hot. But anyone that knows me, knows if someone goes past me, I use those skills to go faster to at least keep up.
There are too many variables to say what is, or is not a good rider. Situations never repeat exactly, so there has to be a certain amount of adaptation on the riders part, along with a level head, a safe bike, (lets not forget this, because the best rider in the world, on something I've built but not got round to finishing, is fucked), and sense enough to know when he/she are outclassed.

He he, I only list those qualities cause those are the ones I ride with
Whats good for one person's mindset is not necessarily good for another's I suppose. Might be why its taking me a while to get fast...(not fishing)

Just while you have time to contemplate, due to the waiting for a girl, do you think I'm a safe rider? Most will answer with a resounding NO, and yet I am reletively fast. So why is it you want to be fast?He he, I only list those qualities cause those are the ones I ride with

Ummm...yeah maybe you are. I don't see the fast crew for long but then thats mostly because I'm too damn courteous when we are out riding. For now on I'm going to make you fuckers wait for me on the hill. The pace I'm riding at now I wouldn't have considered safe 6 months ago.
I like to go around corners 'well'. If I can keep up with the good riders that are fast then maybe I'm good too? This sounds like I'm contradicting what I've already said in prev posts but I'm doing this in my own time/ability and still within my limits. I haven't felt I've had to back off yet.

Yep, that's me!
I know yer not asking me, but I think yer both cute...I mean safe - just in different ways!
Exploring pastures anew...
gee wizzz
Actually heres a concept many of you will disagree with.
I know i'm a competative person and I like to push the envelope on my bike /bikes. No or limited self control
I came to realise long ago this would end up getting me dead pretty darn quick.
I sold my sprot bike and bought the first of my "old shitters"
The reasion was that the old gal would announce in a pretty loud voice that she was at her limit and not to push it or she would dump my sorry ass on the ground.
But I do regularly ride sprot bikes on the road.
To slow myself down and make me ride more cautiously I ride in jeans or dress trou.
Not something Id reccomend for a new rider but it has kept me riding sanely
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

Awesome feed back guys!!
What about if you're riding for years and years? Do bad habits become worse?
My bass is such a slapper.......I cant stop fingering those strings
Forum whore
Yes. I reset bad habits with educational track days (actual training course as opposed to brain out slow fanging that KBers seem to love) or road training courses.
At the very least an instructor can point at stuff that is adding to the workload instead of making riding more fun and say, "stop doing that, or start doing this, and life will be easier".
I also get new trousers if they shrink or stretch.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

No matter how long you have been riding you will always pick up something new (If you are willing to learn). So if you are willing to say that you don't know everything then no you habbits don't get worse and if you have bad habbits then you will weed them out.
But if you ar enot open to learn then it is possible
.....your time is coming
No don't think so..if you have bad habits you either don't learn from them or you do..it's attitude which matters.
I was stupid at times when young and after 27 years would say I am a better rider, can go fast on my own but not in groups and think twice before I do something........but I am still old fart............

You have a thing for trousers
