RIQUE

I am going to do Level 4 this year. My goal is to improve my body position. Canyon carving I have touched the cylinder head protectors of my BMW R1100S several times which means I need to get the bike up and the knee down. I need to conquer this skill soon, those protectores are a 140US a piece! Body wise I am fit slender and healthy.

I started riding in my late thirties and was convinced that I had the talent and physical dispossition. My father a very tallented rider started riding at 7 and always tried to push me into riding. This backfired and I hated bikes. One day the riding gene clicked in and I purchased a bike and started practicing. One aspect that many of you have not mentioned is determination. I recall the exact moment in my life when I decided I would be a great rider or at least try. I believe all world class riders posses true determination to become the best they can. This fuels the urge to learn, practice and push their limits.

When in city trafic I adjust my brake lever for full four finger braking. I always have my four on the brake. You have to be ready to pull that lever. While riding I push the lever away leaving distance for one or two fingers and I ride with my finger away from the barke while accelerating. Justa mya 2 cents.
