i learn't a huge amount of bike handling skills and they became an instinct from riding on a track, i would never have survived trying to learn those on teh road as with a track nothing really changes on a corner from one lap to another giving you the chance to push things, try that on the same corner each day riding to work and see what it does to your life.
true it did increase me speed on the road a tad but i was steps ahead in confidence and safety.
So what is being done to stop more kids getting killed or seriously injured .... in their own home ... by their own family members ???
And (back to motorcycling) would Compulsory Graduated Rider training courses at each stage of a Motorcycle license .... being made mandatory make a difference ... ??
Is the issue with the motorcycle riders dying on the road ... lack of knowledge/skills or lack of caring about the (possible) end result ... ??
Perhaps ... the "It couldn't happen to me, I'm a good rider" mentality ... ???
People usually die because of someone else's poor decision making. It would need a bloody good training course to stop that happening. Is there one ... ???
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
That is one hell of a myth there chap.
In around a third of motorcycle fatalities there's no other vehicle involved.
In around another third the rider could have mitigated accident or severity of accident to some degree.
Laying the blame on one's own shit riding by blaming a third party, that's the core of the problem in my view
