Well, then ... bully for you. You seem to have a good grip on your abilities.You most certainly sound like you're a 'gifted' rider.

As for the question asked to you ... I don't think ... simply "You can't" is the only response warranted nor appropriate.The reality is more like .... Yes, there is hope... and practice is the only way.

Understanding the mechanics of ridingislearned by courses and books, or someone else explaining it. Practical experience is key to perfecting it. The more a person rides the better they understand their personal responsiveness to the bike they are riding .... not to mention the more they relax, gain confindenceand just flow into it. Granted, there are riders that will never be good riders no matter how hard they try or how much they practice. THAT goes without saying. But to say that all riders will never GET IT, if they are 'talented' is not exactly acurate.

I know I can ride and handle MY bike with ease (most certainly didn't at the beginning), but I did learn my skill and gained confidence. As soon as I get on another model, though, it takes a while for me to 'ease' into it. A different bike handles differently. There is a different center of gravity, different reach, different posture, different response to the throttle and gears. It's all different. Given some practice, it too would be an 'ease' to drive...not a moment sooner. Talent or no talent ... it's still do-able. JUST TAKES PRACTICE!

Identifying limitations is not neccesarily a bad thing. I know mine. I am better than some drivers and not as good as others. Doesn't really matter to me. I am not out there to be better than anybody ... just wanna enjoy the ride.

 

Forget it girl,,,,YOU CAN"T,, YOU WONT!! and never WILL..........
didnt you just read "GOD's "post,,,,, he has the last say!!!!
lol!!!!.




troops,,, were goin to battle

 

In theory - Read the books, take the safety course, read the websites,and check out the vids. No matter howknowledgeable one thinks they are, additionalinformation (or a refresher) never hurts.

In practice - There is no better teacher and no better way to learn how to ride than spending time in the saddle logging miles. The more miles you log, the greater your confidence will become; both in your abilities and in the handling of your motorcycle.

 

Damn man,

Its gonna keep me up all night wishin I was as good as you.

I agree, experience is the best teacher. You gain experience and knowledge through practice, learing and mistakes.

As for as the "you wanna learn I'll show you attitude" Why don't you use that the next time you visit the Doctor, or surgeon? He can show your buddy how it's done, then your buddy can perform. That's just like the saying, No, but I did stay at a holiday inn last night.

 

I aint as good as I once was,,,, but I'm as good as I'll ever be!!!!!

 

Sorry, I am at a loss here... I "Can't" and "Won't" and "Never will" WHAT? "God's post"? You've lost me. Splain!

 

Pull the plug on mister Natural, he is definitely a Troll.

shouldn't this be in the joke section?

 

OOohhh....wait a minute.... I think I got it.... You mean our original poster was "God" himself. I didn't know God rode motorcycles and was often asked questions like this...not to mention was a member of our forum.

Pffttt!! Silly me. It all makes sense now ..."Thousands of years" riding experience. Yep ... Now I gottcha!
