A little Lean Angle fun

Oh yeah, I don't mean to make it sound easy or be flip about it, it's a challenging thing turning your lizard brain off and letting the adrenaline junkie monkey brain take over.

I still fight it every time I go out.
 
It's uncanny, I remember once looking at some woods as I was going by, thinking, ****, it would suck hitting those trees, and darned if the bike didn't start going right where I looked, always stuck with me, don't look where you don't want to go.

I believe that's called target fixation. It can probably account for a percentage of deer strikes. Its real hard not to stare at that beast that just jumped out in front of you.
 
That's a big reason I try not to look at the road too much these days, when I see a pot hole, weird spot, bump, anything looking slick I inevitably focus on it and it's incredibly distracting (unsafe).
 

Scott; now that I have the chance to upgrade. 13 or 12.5? 444?

There were a couple times we came flying out of one curve, down the straight and I had to brake hard to keep from hitting you because I wasn't expecting you to do just that. One time I found the point where my ABS and traction control kicked in in Dynamic Pro ride mode.
