Small Steps, Big Leaps (http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/features/columns/1013_Code_Break_Small_Steps_Big_Leaps/)It's a great paradox that the skills most experienced motorcyclists want to master are the same skills they hope they will never have to use out there on the road. What will I do when my front tire washes out at full lean? How will I react if I lock the front brake? What if the rear tire spins up and steps out? It's difficult to learn how you will react beyond your limits without exceeding those limits first. Watching other riders, or even following other riders, rarely answers these questions. Watching Marc Marquez drag his elbow is one thing; doing it yourself, on command, remains unthinkable for most of us, no matter how many Marquez YouTube videos we watch. You cannot glean from others what isn't already within your own reach. A rider must have enough personal experience from which to make valid comparisons. You can only learn by approaching your own limits, on your own terms.
