I had a lesson in humility yesterday.
Went to an advanced riding course at a local racetrack. In comparison to a lot of other riders I am barely average - especially in terms of cornering skills. Some of it is no doubt down to the bike (cheap suspension), and my weight - 270lb, but one of the best riders in the whole group was on a huge harley clone - he smoked squids on GSXRs and R6s. Another smooth and very fast rider was on a VFR.
It was very frustrating, but I learned a great deal too.
But, it makes me ask the questions "How good am I really in comparison to how good I think I am?" And, does the bike matter as much as the rider? And, "How do I improve?"
