After nearly 12 years of riding, I FINALLY figured out left-hand curves today!!!

I've had a tendency to hug the centerline on left-hand curves. Which is a bad thing for a lot of reasons.

Well, today it hit me: the bike tends to go where you look, right? (Yes, I teach this stuff.) I made a real effort on the lefts to focus on the outside of the curve; if the curve had chevrons, that was the perfect place to look. Then, I'll be darned, I managed to ride the outside!!! Wow, I have a new skill to practice! Bring on the lefts!!!!!
