For myself, I wouldn't say total (ie 100%) concentration is required, just an awareness. I quite often am thinking about other things, whether filtering through traffic or having some fun on the back roads, but my mind is always scanning my environment, looking for possible hazards. Everyone is different however so as a general rule of thumb 100% concentration is advisable.

yep i see heaps of motorcyclists thinking the same thing when they are riding........

Heh. Katman has a point IMO. I'm 100% into the cars in front. If a gap opens up while splitting etc, I keep an eye on the car in the other lane to see if they just want to duck across. I hate those dicks that hit the indicator as they turn the wheel to change lanes.
I'm just waiting for that one day they'll do it while my front and rear wheels are parallel to their front and rear wheel

So you pay 0% attention to the vehicles behind and to the sides?

The ongoing saga......Police were unable to track down anyone 'stupid' or guilty enough to own upto being the car that left the scene...they have their suspicions but thats not enough to ping someone.
We got the bike today.....first time look at the damage.
Completely destroyed the left hand clipon...bent it like a banana and then it snapped...ripped the clutch cable out of its housing....funnily enough the mirror on the left is fine...but the right hand side smashed.....left hand main fairing is intact...but worn thin and deeply 'gravel rashed' with the mounting brackets compressed flat....its fiberglass so easily fixed as it hasent cracked. Rear indicator smashed...bulbs ok....gear shift has snapped the pin and rubber tag off but the lever is intact....foot peg was destroyed and ripped the bracket in half. Rear foot peg has been ground down but still functional. minor scraps to rear seat and fairing.....inner top fairings smashed as they were original plastic and really brittle. Front guard has twisted but forks and alingment are ok....wheel is running true and no damage. And its completely covered in thick dried mud from the ditch. and it started up first go with a bit of smoke as we expected...All up most of the damage we can fix ourselves for next to fuck all...but we totalled up and reckon its gonna cost about $5-600 to fix max. this includes painting. All in all relativily cheap considering the speed and distance it travelled on its side. Rider is healing up nicley and looking forward to getting back to work on his other bike....a cbr600

Baa ha ha ha bling sent, so true
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
