Most challenging part of riding???

[Desert Dust]

There was a Clint Eastwood movie in which he gunned down a would be bounty hunter.

Eastwood replied, as only Clint could, "A man has got to know his limitations."

Learning your limitations is the hardest thing to master in motorcycle riding.

Even Rossi overestimates his limitations at times. 

What are your limitations?

I always find it hard to jump onto a cold set of tires and treat them like they should be treated before they warm up .... especially when they're new cold tires.  I haven't crashed because of this unease, but I've gotten extremely excited a few times.

Woodside road? Damn that crazy little turn...especially coming down the hill heading down Portola.

For me, it's remembering to always respect the bike. Respect the acceleration, brakes, tires, weight/size, and the fact that $hit can happen. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

the whole "you go where you are looking" thing

i used to have trouble when following another rider through a curve. had to make an effort to watch the apex instead of the other rider...

That's up there with cold, wet tires on an oily, city street corner.

Excellent advice!  But he said that in "Magnum Force" (maybe he said it another movie, but thats what I know it from), when at the end, he leaves a bomb in a car being driven away by Hal Holbrook and it blowd him up real good.

Clint also told a bounty hunter that dyin' ain't much of a way to make a livin'
