It's my firm belief that for a motorcyclist to survive, he or she must become vastly more aware of and reactive to the road environment than the average -- or even adequate -- cage driver. You're well on your way. There is certainly far less margin for error on a bike. And nothing makes for a better overall driver faster than becoming proficient in the saddle. Certainly more information is better, but unfamiliar blind curves are no place to press one's luck...

When approaching a tight turn, I like to be warned (with the yellow recommended speed sign) of an upcoming curve I can't yet see. Since I started riding a motorcycle, I notice that I pay more attention to these signs. If it says 10 mph, even if the speed limit is 35, I know that slowing down is in my best interest. An example of what I'm talking about: http://tinyurl.com/ypu3z2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
