I ride for fun and have been riding since 03 and have taken the class etc etc. I feel "ok" riding and usually do it out in the hill country. I took my bike out last year to a class sponsored by the police motors unit. They had a pretty technicall obstacle course set up and a pursuit track available. I realized that day there are riders, and there are riders... Those motors guys were amazing on the course whereas us recreational riders were like kids on their first day without training wheels.. humbling experience but I got a firm grasp of my limitations..
