Interesting read, but analyst should have gone deeper into the pshycoanalysis, something about how its all linked to how he couldn't keep up with his bigger brother on their pedal bikes when he was young, and that the tail of the dragon is a metaphor for his life, so many twisties, and turnies....

you know really got in their real deep like

I like that article. I don't think anyone could ever feel comfortable going fast unless they have the confidence to steer the bike.

i stopped reading when i saw this: "Since we know that the motorcycle goes wherever you look"<-- sorry, that is asking for ignorance.

man, that phrase easily confuses people. they really gotta find a rewording for it.

how about this:
"push forward on the handlebar that is in the direction you want to go. want to go left? push forward on the left handlebar. want to go right? push forward on the right handlebar."
^-- wasn't very hard was it! also doesn't imply magical unconcious sight powers influencing a 400 lbs piece of steel and aluminum.

more like, "since humans have a natural tendency to follow their head."

ex: head down for swimming, head down for getting off the blocks in sprints, wandering in the lane when you drive because you're looking at the scenery instead of the road.

Sorry I don't recognize the words Harley Davidson so I could finish the first sentence. Are the words Harley Davidson somehow related to good high speed corning

I have seen some real sh*t from a rider on a HD street rod as well as an retired iron worker (76yrs young) on a 96 gold wing with his grandson on the back. I chatted with the 12yr old grandson, he said it was like a video game lol.

Respect!
