Parking on the street makes me feel super naked for some reason. Locks and a cover really help and settles my nerves a bit. Good luck Irondoge you'll be certified before you know it!

This thread got way too real, all I can hear is dandanthefireman saying "You know the car saw that escape path too brother you gotta be smarter than that"

I love that you listen to your lizard brain, never deny fear always manage it. Over 500 motorcyclists die in Cali every year, the freeways are actively trying to kill you. I got a 800lb KLR 650 and 90% of my lane splitting is with zero acceleration or weaving, I ride SD to SLO twice a month. Just straight and steady no wild poo poo, and I make insanely good time. Pressuring drivers to let you through is a great way to make one of those "why is this driver upset at the poor little cyclist" videos on YT that makes us look like little bitches.

Vino posted:The problem is that my lizard brain used to be scared of things that at this point it is no longer scared of. I used to get scared every time I got on a bike and that has largely subsided. Now it’s just in certain situations. Good self awareness and seems like you got good instincts. Personally it's very fun to see other riders excited and enjoying riding. I was probably a bit too much of a negative nancy, just want to temper the excitement a bit.

Awesome tips about self awareness and staying in the moment, that's great advice for my auto driving too. Especially the 'am I distracted by personal life' stuff. Thanks nerobro

I also get in plenty of trouble on low power bikes. The SV will be my next bike. Saying this with love invest in some drop protection for the Indian. My first bike gained a lot of 'character' as I learned.
