Skills are like Penis size - if you really have some you don't feel the need to brag about it.

I think I am mediocre, also. Not keeping up with the fast guys, but ahead of the slow guys. I'm also not the guy who goes balls to the wall trying to keep up. I've seen/heard about that happening way too many times. Anymore, for group rides, we will just get ahold of each other via PM or phone calls to set up group rides.

One of the most naturally talented riders I know is a big mouth. He won't necessarily brag about his "skills" perse but he is definitely not short on confidence and doesn't mind tell you that he'll teach you a thing or two. :lol: |
I'll be the first to admit...I'm a car guy that also happens to like bikes.
I drive better than I ride. :idk: I am a good all around street rider...I have quite a bit of experience BUT I'm only so so in the twisties and I admit it. When it comes to cars I've had training and have done track days...I even drive for a living. I've driven supercharged Vettes... Mustangs...Vipers...Porsche 911 Turbos and non turbos...Mercedes AMG this and that top of the line BMW's...Aston Martin's...and the list goes on. I've never done a track day on a bike. I've ridden enough that I have NO problem riding or controlling my R1 but again when it gets twisty....I'm mid pack or a little further back usually. I actually like riding near the rear of groups because I know I've got common sense and know how to survive but I don't trust other riders unless I know them. Ok I'm selling my bikes and sticking with fast cars and boats. :whatwhat: BS !!!! |

I know I'm not a fast rider. I have a "fast" bike, but I know I will never be good enough to use it to it's full potential, and I'm ok with that. I don't ride to be fast.. I ride because riding makes me happy. Although I will admit it's nice when people have complimented me.. but I'm also happy to hear constructive criticism so that I can improve. |
My ultimate goal when riding is to have fun and enjoy the road, but a close second is to continue to become a better rider.
|
When I think about it, my riding skills are about the only thing i'm not cocky about.
