Thanks for all these insights ... experience, group thinking, other factors. Still, there is something else on my mind.
Riding a powerful motorcycle has its own dynamic. If you ride the same bike and same roads again and again, you gain experience, go faster, gain experience.... go even faster. It feels all natural, even when you’re not a pro. What felt daring a few years or months ago now feels good. This “feeling good” is known in many areas, not just cars or planes. Its happening is part of how our brain works - we adapt to our environment. But in few other places is it so dangerous .... and same much fun.
I realize more then ever before that this is a risk one cannot reduce by being or becoming aware of. One cannot ride entirely avoiding it.
Another (hidden) reason why we ride.
