In my opinion it's a big difference, if you start at an early age driving motorbikes or much later in life. In the first case growing up
riding "mofas" and than going on with the next steps, more ccm and hp, it somehow becomes second nature to ride a motorcycle.
Whenever I ride, I don't spend much thoughts on how to do it, mostly no thoughts at all, in any given situation.
But I always try to have an even unconscious awareness of what's going on around me all the time, wether I'm wide awake or sort of tired.
It'll take lots of miles and time to build this kind of "strength" in oneself and it should always be kept alive. This to me is the best training
and survival indicator. Motorbiking can be compared to a musician playing improvised jazz with an attitude of always be reacting.
It surely depends on in which kind of situations you find yourself in. The more road users are involved the more reaction may be needed.
Another aspect to avoid crashes is not to overestimate yourself and never underrate the power of your machine.
If you interested in pulling the most in terms of speed, acceleration out of e.g. the CB a "professional" training may help, though I've never
went to one or will do in future, 'cause this isn't the way I like to ride. But the training also may help the uncertain.
So, driving regular and not only for short times is the best advice I have. Your motorbike and the streets will teach you their kind of lessons
to develope positively written a nice flow, hopefully without getting damaged.
