CBCanada that is very sound advice. I must be honest and say I was quite nervous on the road. I was surprised at how close drivers will come up to my rear tire. I'm trying to avoid traffic as much as possible so I can get the feel of the bike. While I was alone on the back roads it was blissful. Then the traffic and the tailgating....I wanted to get off my bike and have a face to face chat with the woman but I did not want to lose focus of the task at hand.
I found the most important principals next to the ones already mentioned is that we target fixate. Instead of looking at the immediate threat infront of you, we should be looking for a path around the object. Hence look where you want to go.
Sorry for your loss, important thing is you`re okay.Happened on Canada Day
I *stupidly* rushed a corner and was kind of busy with thoughts ... Took a corner and was not experienced enough to deal with changing my cornering to avoid loose gravel. Nanoseconds ... The bike slid and I went flying but luckily I didn't go flying into the forest because the area had a metal barrier thing?
Luckily I only ended up with some bruise but the first bike is probably going to the dump
Ironically, it happened really close to home so I might have been less paranoid than when I was way up north .....
Damn, only two weeks with the bike? Glad you're ok. Take it easy, you may hurt a bit more over the next few days.Happened on Canada Day
