I think the best way to practice is to choose good day conditions (exactly what @ Motofool said) and to choose roads that you are very familiar with. I know that when I was first on the road, the roads that I "knew" and drove in a car every day felt very different on a bike. You know it, there's comfort in knowing it, but it's still different ya know? But then add the uncertainty of unknown roads/curves/turns and uber hardness while learning. |
I hear ya! Corners feel different, you have road position to think about within your lane and for me, being on my motorcycle feels much quicker than being in a car when travelling at an identical speed. Also: riding my motorcycle is fun! Cars are a bit boring to me. I recently moved house and have a short (40 min) commute in each day. People have asked me how I'm handling the commute and I normally reply "It's like going go-karting before work each day"
