This is a good one. I'd agree, especially with being able to communicate effectively. I always struggled with this, coming in from practice and saying things like, "the bike feels....I don't know....weird and wiggly." and the mechanics were like, "weird and wiggly? can you explain that a little bit better, lol."
Do you think that some people are just naturally better at this or is is something that can be learned?

My friends in land speed that go down and get back up. Recently a friend went down at 225 she lost her leg and broke just about every bone in her body. She laughs that she did not chip her nails. So it's all good.
