Ride one hand a lot, always drive like I'm training for GP or something, hit 100 at least once about 60% of the time i ride....

Don't know why, but I can cook a right corner, but I totally stuff up the lefties all the time.
man I thought I was the only one...I don't mind too much lowsiding in a corner where I'll go off the road but when I'm on the inside a lowside would be extremely ****ty. My luck the first and only time it would happen to me a fully loaded 18 wheeler would be hitting the apex of the turn just as I slide across the double yellow....splat.

- i dont look far enough ahead in corners either
- speed in the city is to fast
- one handed sometimes, but usually just to stretch things out a bit.
- biggest prob is girl watching.. any girl walking down the street i just lock onto, kidding aside its really a problem for me i dont really pay attention to the road or anything around me when a hot one is walking by. if i ever get into an accident im sure it will be because of that..

Speeding.
Signals.
And the worse should be looking down to see how far my knee from the road to touch it.

another for me is not using turn signals,
Guilty! I also have a tendency to speed and I don't mean ludicrous speed. I*m talking about if the speed is 55 then I am doing 75.

someone mentioned sight seeing while riding and i have to put a +1 for that. i tend to get caught up in the scenery when im out in the country. almost drilled a dead cat with flyou when i was checking out the Amish people few weeks back, woulda smelled bad.
