I know, even tho I've been riding for a long long time, it was only a few years ago that I started really riding...and only after joining this forum and picking people's brains, reading books, watching videos, going on a few group rides....I feel that my skills have been steadily improving over the last couple seasons. I keep saying I'm going to do some track days but never get around to it, too much stuff I don't have. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get much better without some track time tho, so maybe next year. Anyway, my muscle memory is decent now, I've trained out a lot of bad habits and trained in some good ones (like not riding on a bald rear tire really fast on unfamiliar roads 2 hours from home).
