Come warm yourself by the fire
I had the same issue bud, i used to do a 2 hour session on a 200kg punching bag with no gloves.
This is not a piss take - its the hard truth.

Come warm yourself by the fire
Something that occurred to me now that may help here.
Back when i was reckless and young - i had a nice accident.
In that accident the usual life flashes before your eyes etc but most importantly all the people i care about came to my mind.
I was not going to leave this place because i cared about them too much.
Since then that concept has always restricted me.
If you don't have anyone to care about, and are better off dead than there is no need for self control. Likewise whenever i feel angry at life - good luck at catching me on the bike.

You're the target audience. Are you fucking listening to any of the advice that's been given?

Fair enough Ixion. And by the way, nice to see you around these parts again. Stop for a while. Somehow I think that Mr Skidmark is more interested in seeking attention rather than solace for his riding behavior. But then as Ixion points out, there are others (like most of us) that can also benefit from this thread.
If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

There's a lot of good advice on this thread which I haven't had a chance to read yet, but this is one suggestion that I would like to back up in particular.
I don't think you should get back on a bike for a while- unless it's a treadly. You need to learn discipline, starting maybe with the blow to the ego that clearly would involve for you.
I think that after a year with a good school you would not only have much improved aggression control, but some pride in the skills you'd been learning. You should talk to a few people who have spent years training: they will tell you the same thing. I've seen a lot of young guys similar to you come along to the various clubs I've been a part of, and if they stayed, it's been the making of them. One ended up boxing for Scotland within a couple of years.
Most certainly have improved self discipline and improved lives.
You could do a lot in a year, but you need to make some sacrifices and work hard. There is no other, easier way to get there- but trust me, you will be glad you did.
(I hope I'm not talking to myself, here. That's always so embarrassing.)

I don't do stupid shit because I don't want to do stupid shit. I don't find it fun lanesplitting through traffic at 80km/h or pulling high risk maneuvers in built up areas... the biggest problem you seem to have, Mark, is a serious lack of a sense of time and place. Most people who ride sports bikes and like getting a move on (and let's face it, that's most of us who like sports bikes, the whole idea of owning one is carving up some twisties), but they also know when and where it's a little more acceptable.
Face it - if you love that stuff you're not going to want to change... but change when and where you do it. Get your fix another way, go to a track day or blast around your favourite set of twisties but away from a built up area and don't overdo it, sure isn't a race. From that point of view, try riding alone too... you hurry less and watch your lines more.
Good luck mate.

No need to worry about that. I always listen to you.
I'm not sure why Mark keeps posting all this stuff, to be honest. I suspect it's just canonical trolling behaviour - posting for the sole purpose of getting a response. Any response. The more, the better. Beats being lonely.
My only problem with martial arts training is, of course, the potential for injury. I have issues with getting my head smacked around; I can't afford work downtime due to concussion.
Which is why I keep meaning to start doing some regular BJJ training.

If you can't control yourself how can you say you can control the bike?
It's well known that a fast bike needs a fast rider to make it go fast. Therefore a rider needs to be controlled to make sure his bike is controlled.
MDU is talking a whole lot of sense, I'll accompany him to a morgue if he can arrange it.
Ok im coming out of my closet just this one time, I too kinda have a curvy figure which makes it worse beacuse im a guy. Well the waist kinda goes in and the bum pushes out. When I was in college the girls in my year would slap me on the arse and squeeze because apparently it is firm, tight...
I wear jeans
.....if I find this as a signature Ill hunt you down, serious, capice?

The track days are good idea and will either show he has the skills that he thinks and says he has or that he needs to do a RRRS course to learn a few more skills that can be handy on the road and on the track, and the track day will also be good to know when and where to do that over taking maneuver, knowing his own skill level, knowing his bike what it can and can’t do, knowing the track, knowing his opponent on the track, knowing opponents skills what he possible will and won’t can and can’t do… knowing the rules to your advantage to win. All this uses self control.
Self control is also saying you don't know everything as you haven’t been in every situation... Self control is a willing to learn new skills, to better yourself, your skill base and yes even your riding. Self control is not making a decisions on impulse but stopping and thinking before you make that decision using all your given advise and input.
Mark you want to learn self control, take the step... this thread has shown you the door only you can walk through it...

SM,
If memory serves, you need a job, you need a place to live, and you could use some discipline.
