Thanks rg! Excellent read indeed.

Moldmaker and I talked about a related topic not too long ago... I was telling him that even after a few years of riding regularly, and a bunch of crashes, I am still unsure about where my limits are... it`s all great to say you should ride within your limits, but where are they? Is it just a matter of feeling in control? what if I feel in total control over 9 corners and not the 10th one? How do you make sure you are ALWAYS in control?
There are days where I`ll feel super comfy and in control the whole day, riding smooth and fast (for me), and feeling great... how far am I from tipping over to the "other side"? I am not sure...
Other days I`ll spend the whole day trying to find that comfort zone... speed can be the culprit at times, but not always as even after slowing down considerably I wouldn`t find that sweet spot of smoothness and pace...

I need more guidance! and a few track days would help too I am sure...
