Story time.....once again......

Ok...I'm in a better mood today....after yesterday...so; here's my story from the weekend. I thought this was pretty funny on my part.

So....training a student whose NEVER ridden a motorcycle. It's the afternoon of day one and he's actually doing not too bad. But keeps looking down at his speedometer for some reason. When he comes to a stop....in a corner.....and i keep correcting him to look up. One of our rules..is; you look down; your gonna go down.

So after a day of telling him this; I stopped him and chatted...this is how the conversation went -

KG - M...I have to ask; is there a picture of a naked chick on your speedometer?

Student - No.....why?

KG - Well...I just have to ask; cause I've never seen a guy stare so hard at a speedometer without a picture of a naked chick there!

He never looked down again after that.....(mission accomplished!)

Good way to get your point across.Glad you feel better

im shure he was just trying hard to do well for you as he is a man with an ego as we all are being trained by this amazing woman who could ride circles around him...it all goes back to the intimidation thing in your earlier thread...

^^ yup agree. Men have fragile egos, the stronger the confidence of the girl the easier it is to bruise the mans ego. I go on mountain biking trips with a very attractive, strong willed, confident woman who likes to call me a ***** every time i don't wanna a really steep downhill run. I have to admit it took quite some getting use to even in a platonic relationship. Not saying you're going that far but IMO its kinda the same only less extreme :P

Anyway i'll shut up now since this thread is on a totally different topic. Did the guy say he was afraid to go to fast?

Wait.... So I'm not supposed to look down while going through curves?

I've always put my head down, puckered my cheeks, and hoped for the best!

No...he just started a bad habit.....he thought it was funny what I said....and I think I made him feel more comfortable after that.

He turned out by the end of day 2 to be quite a good rider.....

Motorcycle or car, I only glance at the speedo when I see the police and want to see if I am speeding. Having a feel for the traffic around you is the best way to stay alive, and it has nothing to do with the speed limit.

EDIT: oh yeah, I glance at the speedo when I think I might be above 140. Just to check.
