Perhaps this means that the course offerings in motorcycle training classes are just not teaching their students what they need to know to stay alive?
I think that we all believe that education/training should improve ones skills, making them more effective at what they are doing. If this is not happening why?
Could it be that freshening up ones skills at low speed maneuvering in a parking lot "Bicycle Rodeo" type of class does not prepare a motorcyclist for the real world of the highway? Maybe the training is no good! Have we been fooling ourselves all this time?
I am amused at the female riders who insist on single sex classes so as to eliminate the evil and stressful effect of those awful aggressive men riders. They should insist on single sex highways as well. The highway is a real life gritty and dangerous place. Train hard, train for what you will be doing, practice dealing with stress, it's there. Probably most female riders travel the road in company with male riders more often than with a segregated group of Females anyway.
