Riding Skills - You Are Where You Look (http://www.sportrider.com/ride/RSS/146_0102_rss/) This looks like a great article - it makes me want to go ride right now! Any tips from expert riders?

Sport Rider has some great Info! That's one of the biggest thing I preach to new rider! The bikes will go even at warp speed if you just look and point them. Most single rider crashes accrue because of target fixation Rider goes into a corner to fast and all they see is the ditch they think they are going to be in. If they just look around that corner and drive the bike through it wallaa. I have cleaned my own shorts a few times from this and am still here to laugh about it. Same thing goes for that cage that pulls out in front of you. Look around it to see your escape, not at it.

This has to be what i work hardest at. Riding in traffic will kill your vision real quick and when things finally open up, youre still looking right in front of you. Yeah i need to hit the track.

The track is great for teaching allot of thing! If you want to be fast, looking ahead is very important!

I look thru the corner at the line I want to take. I have been practicing this alot here in the GAP... I have got down right leathal on my right hand corners and getting way better on my lefts. Chicken strips are GONE!! Nuttin like 90mph 180 degree sweepers on the Skyway to help with that!
