Moxie Nixx and Fearless Riding

I'm about 80% done with my new "Fearless Riding" motorcycle book. This book proposes an elegantly simple and powerfully effective way to control your motorcycle using vision and relaxation. I call this the One Fearless Riding Technique. Yeah, it's really two things, but you must learn to do them both at the same time, so they become two sides of the very same coin.

Here is how it works: You need to know where to look so you can see what you need to see to stay safe and control your motorcycle. At the same time, your hands, arms, shoulders and eyes need to be relaxed enough that your brain can quickly, automatically and subconsciously steer and control the motorcycle.

Since working out this system, I have seen a huge improvement in my motorcycle riding skills. Not just my slow speed control, but improved safety out in the real world.

A huge part of what inspired this book is my experience learning how to notice and eliminate waste using Lean thinking. Lean is an offshoot of the Toyota Production System. Continuous Improvement is the focus. If you are still using motorcycle techniques formulate 100 years ago, their may be a better way.

Stay tuned for more.
