There's lots of talk here about body positioning and the perfect line but a complete riding skills set should also include getting your head in the game and safety. Here are a couple of good videos to get you thinking.

Enjoy (and pardon if these have allready been posted):

Both excellent videos! Thanks for posting.

I actually watch a lot of these along with several vlogs for tips...some however aren't very good and some even give bad advice. The second video was actually pretty good.

Thanks!!

What kind of bike is the one in the first video? I caught the words "magneti marelli" on the tac but I think that company doesn't make the actual bike.

Duacati 999R

Thanks! I figured the exhaust looked like a Ducati dual exhaust but it didn't look like an 848 or an 1198. A former coworker of mine had a 999 and seeing that pretty bike is what inspired me to start riding. I'm planning on upgrading to a Daytona 675 though...
