Curious what you all do for skill development, particularly those who don’t get to ride much? It’s gotta be tough if you only get a few rides in a year, but that makes it even more important to practise your skills. Would anyone be interested in some casual practise meets this year? I practise pretty routinely but it’d be a fun way to get some more time on your motorbike while making you a safer rider. Because really, group rides kinda suck and hoping on your bike a few times a year to keep up with street Rossi’s is kind sketchy.

I make it a point to do a few rides that are just for practicing some things. I like to ride to a big open parking lot, so some hard stops and slower more difficult turns and things just to “warm up” in the spring. In a normal year I feel like I ride frequently, but I think a little tune up is a good idea. Some places offer these courses as well.
I’m up for a group ride or group rides though!
