I got an idea: I've started dozens of threads with my own thoughts and observations. I've had the courage to put my words and my life "out there" for the general consumption of the forum. My threads have been fodder for all of your comments.
Jared, you said the thread was trashy yet you're...
AT&T least they make the attempt to dismiss anecdotes. At present the scientific method is the best we humans have for discriminating good and bad information
Amazing! T84A and I agree on something. This is an author I found very useful. Most of what he has written I even read a second time. If I recall he is a journalist that actually went from writing to racing. The racers didn't take him seriously at first but he became quite good.

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.
If I recall correctly David Hough had no "proper" training and learned most of what he knew on his own. As Eric said, if you think you need 20 books and 18 classes to be safe on a bike there's nothing wrong with that. But a lot of us learned a ton in the saddle. Dustin, I hope we can meet so you...
