Early Adapter!

Human beings learn and adapt and eventually get used to things. Like speed, or checking over the shoulder. Becoming desensitised raises risk and you may not even be aware of it!

When I first started riding, 80kmph felt bloody fast. Today, two decades later, I’m at peace at 130 on an open road and my speed-fears do not kick in when I brake from 240kmph or more at a racetrack. This isn’t because I drink Red Bull or have heaps of Bournvita every day. It’s because like all of you, I also have the ability to recognise something new, then deal with it, then get used to it and finally incorporate it into our new normal. Some of us are better at adapting and others take more time, but human beings, can get used to anything. And on a motorcycle, that is a potential problem.
