I guess I am weird again. I practice braking and swerving in parking lots. Feeling the brakes and getting the front to chirp. You will react in a urgent situation how you practice, or dont' practice. I've seen too many riders just ride into an accident, sliding on the rear wheel.
But i was an MSF instructor for 11 years. The MSF course is a good base to learn from. It teaches skills that, if practiced, will save your ***. But probably the biggest lesson I learned from when I took the MSF courses, it to be observant, maintain space and plan an escape route.

I need the practice, for I certainly have room for improvement!
I'm not alone in this. Many of my friends who ride do similar. As well take a class or two every year in something. I've seen others practicing things out and about on their bikes.

well.... you got caught daydreaming....it happens....hopefully not often.........i would suggest ..that without your "crashbars" you would not have hit anything..... ie ..they didnt save ****.....they stuck out the farthest and you clipped them....
