I know it's going to be a  long winter because I sold my sled. First time I'm sledless in over 15 years. I'm thinking of going out west or south on some bike trips instead.

I think the way it works, they send you a check and use the info from cashing the check to get into your account, with all the other info you give them.

I think they are from out of the country and there is no way to catch them.

These things are all over the place, about half the time I put something on Craigslist I get one of these. I feel sorry for the people that don't figure it out. How do these crooks get away with it?

That's good stuff Lloyd, I was hoping you would chime in.

I can see this is coming in a few different directions, and that's great. Ray has a technical approach and Geg is more about experience. I put on about 20k this year (best ever) and rode just about every kind of motorcycle there is, so I should qualify in Gegs post. With Rays post, because of what I do for a living I probably am pretty in tune with how a bike works. Now on a good day I would have trouble keeping up with either one of you. So now my question is how much does natural tallent have to do with how well you ride, and can you be tought tallent? Or is it, you either have it or you don't.

That's a good one Ray, what sort of feedback are you talkin about, and what does the different feedback feel like.
   And Jeff your comment was great.

My hope is people will share what they have learned through there years of riding. There are some great riders in this group, and I for one would like to know how they do it.

Maybe it's like Vander said, I might be throwing a large net here.

I'm not comparing street and track here. In my opinion there as different as sport bikes and dirt bikes. I'm looking for opinions on what makes a good street rider and how that can make me a better rider.

You bring up your getting slower and not faster...how does that equate with being a better rider?
It doesn't, I'm not sure being fast has anything to do with being a good rider.

I know this has been covered before, but every season I learn something new about being a good street rider.
  At my age I'm finding out I'm not getting faster, I'm getting slower. So at this point I would like to become a better rider if that's possible at my age. What makes a good street rider, and why?
  I think this will make for a good off season topic. Plus what can it hurt to rehash what it is that makes a good rider.

Never ment to be nasty, I just feel bad for the guy. We all know when we throw a leg over these things we are putting ourselves in harms way.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, doesn't change anything.

Of course not, but there is a lesson to be derived for everyone else going forward....no?
We all no why these things happen for the most part, I just think no one needs it shoved in there face. When I screw up, I hate it when someone always wants to point out the abvious. I think everyone hates it if ya think about it.
