Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Practice is far different from "seat time."

Seat Time is not the only thing! Repeatedly crashing without learning from it for 100k miles doesn't make you a better rider. Proper training and seat time go hand in hand not either or.
Can you imagine becoming a surgeon without ever having held a scalpel?
A doctor can't practice medicine without years and years of knowledge and theory. You have to understand how the body works before you ever touch a patient, right?
Seat Time doesn't mean anything without Proper Skills and Training, PERIOD
Sure KeithRide safe. Please stay away from Maryland. Thanks

Shame this thread took such a dive so fast, it went from interesting to worthless in a few posts
Just because we don't agree with you doesn't mean the thread took a dive.
Define "proper" because I had no "proper" training when I was 11 and got my first two wheels. I learned with seat time and it came with trial and error. Crash!?!? "Well, that's what I'll not to do the next time." I did not actually take a course until I was 18 yrs old... 7 years and 4 motorcycles later. Still here! No broken bones! So that blows your useless "proper training" right out of the water, doesn't it? PERIOD!
So, maybe some of you needed "proper" training. Others figured it out with common sense and when things did not work out, tried it differently. When I wanted to know how to do things more efficiently, I researched and asked questions, got my answers and tried these. If they worked, I practiced it until it became (permanently) perfect.
Actually, i've done both but thanks. I've also taken advanced rider courses and am going to CSS next spring but keep at that seat time. You'll be the best rider you know in your mind.
Oh, I almost forgot. In a couple of months I'll be a certified MSF instructor-another worthless skil in your opinion.
BTW, will someone please tell me what all these "BAD HABITS" are that everyone but Keith Code and T84A seem to have. Please be specific. I'm curious to know how against all odds so many of us have survived with these bad habits.
Smokin', drinkin', and loose women.

Hellgate, I love your Rebel gang quote about at least doing the speed limit, but come on, the Rebel 250 has some extreme limitations. Cut them some slack!"If you're a rebel motorcycle 'gang,' try to at least go the speed limit you f@cking pussies." - Hellgate
