Be prepared
While biking down unknown roads is a reward in itself, it is not particularly safe. What you need before opening up the taps is a trial run, get a feel of the road, the routes around Gloucester are twisty and they make for some epic cornering, but they are as fun only when you know exactly what you are in for. Get a map, study your SatNav, or do a dry run, anything that will help improve your reaction time and keep you alert.
There are limits
As much as your bike may make you feel invincible, both you and your bike have their limits. You are not on the Isle of Man TT, and unless you are a professional racer, you will not have the reflexes of one. Known you own, and your bike’s limits before doing anything that you will regret later, and for some reason, it still has to be said- never ride without appropriate gear.
