Three words most casual riders are incapable of saying, “I messed up.” It’s always “she pulled out in front of me” or “there was gravel on the road” or “I had to lay ‘er down.” Read “Kick Ass, Ass Kicked—it’s not not fate, it’s focus” for a racer’s take on what causes most crashes. It’s us. Nobody but us.

- Mark Twain I check the comments on this blog regularly. The idea is that we're going to have a conversation about the ideas I've presented. You should be aware of the fact that when someone emails me an interesting comment, the odds are good that I'll post that in the comments anonymously and reply to that comment on the blog rather than in email.

I appreciate the humble approach taken by a respected motorcycle enthusiast, racer and journalist. Mr. Ienatsch encouraged many riders to reflect upon their attitude and attention toward riding with his equally good piece; "The Pace" published back in November of 1991 in Motorcyclist magazine. Thanks for sharing this.
