Very good writeup.
That's the biiiiig thing for me. It's incredible meditation. The road demands the rider's full attention for short-time planning, spatial visualization, sensory inputs, and muscle control. It's literally a matter of life and death. At the same time other parts of the brain aren't required, so the mind wanders, but in a much subdued way where stormy thoughts turn into a calm flow.
Stay left, look in, lean, apex, watch out for the pothole, left again, shift down ahead of the intersection, ok they are yielding, back on the throttle, shift up, don't lean over the manhole covers, wow view's pretty, hey pedestrians looking to cross let's come to a smooth stop...
