|  I learned cagers get smarter as I get better!
I've come to realize that the better I get at motorcycling, the smarter the cagers around me get. As I improve my skill at reading a cager's probable-next-move, those cagers don't give me as many scary surprises. As I improve my lane-positioning habits and stay out of blind-spots, cagers don't cut me off as much. Because I keep a better following distance as my experience grows, cagers don't hide me behind their larger vehicles. As good riding habits develop into second-nature, it's amazing how much better those cagers get at driving their vehicles. I know I've still got a lot to learn. I know there's danger with every motorcycle ride. I know there is still going to be that crazy cager to deal with. And I know I have to keep my skills sharp. BUT... as I approach my 1-yr anniversary as a motorcyclist, I'm AMAZED by how much better the cagers drive now than they used to when I first started riding.  |
