Motorcycle Rider Concentration

Motorcycleriding concentration is defined as the complete application of motorcycle rider mind and body to a particular endeavour, and the exclusion of everything not connected with that motorcycle endeavour.

Today’s road and traffic conditions demand that all motorcyclists exercise full riding concentration every time they venture on to the road. Motorists can get away with a slight lack of riding concentration, usually resulting in nothing more than a slightly dented car. Motorcyclists do not have a protective motorcycle box around them, and only have two motorcycle wheels to balance on. Lack of riding concentration may result in an motorcycle accident that can not only damage the motorcycle, but also injure the motorcycle rider.

Equipment OutfittersMotorcycleriding concentration not only helps to avoid motorcycle accidents but also aids anticipation. Thinking ahead and planning every motorcycle move is the basis of advanced motorcycle riding, and you can’t think ahead if your motorcycle riding does not have your full application.

Expert and smooth handling and operation of the motorcycle also requires full concentration. Bad motorcycle gear changes, late motorcycle braking and fierce acceleration can all be avoided. Bad motorcycle machine control, and lack of appreciation, reflect in its movements on the road.

Motorcycle Rider Attitude

A rider’s mental attitude is also an important factor in road safety. It is dangerous to take revenge on your frustrations by riding motorcycle furiously on the road. It therefore follows that to go out riding motorcycle after an argument, or after receiving bad news, is foolhardy and potentially dangerous.

Motorcycle Rider Reaction Time

Motorcycle reaction time is defined as the time taken between seeing the need for action and actually taking that action.

Two-thirds of a second (0.66s) is not a very long period of time. In fact it is very difficult to even imagine it. But it can be a motorcycle killer. Travelling at 30mph you cover 44 feet in one second. So in two-thirds of a second you travel nearly 30 feet, approximately the width of a main road junction, between seeing the need to brake or accelerate and actually starting to brake or accelerate motorcycle.

Efforts to reduce this motorcycle reaction time are essential, and there are certain exercises and sports that will sharpen the reactions and reflexes, and reduce it to below half a second.

Sports like squash, badminton and table tennis are ideal, or you can ask a friend to help you with this reaction-improving exercise.

Have your friend hold a pencil at one end between his thumb and forefinger. Start by holding your thumb and forefinger just apart from the pencil near its other end. As your friend lets go you try to catch it. When you improve you will be able to move further up the pencil, giving you less chance to catch it. Be sure it is dropped at random intervals.

Motorcycle Rider Physical and Mental Fitness

Keeping physically fit is essential. A healthy body builds a healthy mind. Travelling long distances is very tiring, so fitness should be aimed at producing stamina rather than strength. Running and jogging are two ideal methods of building stamina, as are squash and badminton which also help reactions and reflexes.

Mental fitness goes hand in hand with physical fitness. An alert mind goes with a healthy body. Tiredness, or the effects of a heavy cold or flu, can result in poor mental ability. Therefore, motorcycle riderconcentration is lost and reaction time can run into seconds rather than a fraction of a second.
