Neat that you had to do it many times to learn. Personally I use the brakes on my bike and truck to keep from hitting the back of the vehicle in front.

I haven't gotten hit by a stray bullet in 35 years either, what's your point?
Who the hell told you that I didn't applied the brakes?
You did if you use the brakes properly you don't hit anything. Are you possibly not using full front brakes.

That's quite the straw man you propped up there.
I don't know man, stopping from 60 km/h to zero with only 10 ft of space is something tricky.
When the car in front of you brakes, it shouldn't be a surprise. Even if he brakes hard for no good reason, you should still be able to predict it in time to react. Part of being a good rider on the street is getting good at predicting what other drivers will do.

How is this even possible? I leave just about 1.5 cars length in the city and there's someone trying to merge in. Highways it's about 3 lengths.
On a side note, does anyone else honk when you see the car infront of you doing Tango with two lanes or is it just me and my riding habits from home?
Axel sticks and all.I just wanna know if this is the same Pegassus from years and years and years ago. Your reputation precedes you
My point is I didn't hit anyone in 40 years and you were doing it about every 3 years. WTF do stray bullets have to do with your poor driving skills.
Well, we're (hopefully) all better now than we were in the past lol
So how much space do you leave when you are behind someone now? Asking for a friend.
So you are only 10 ft behind some one doing 60kph? You're following too close. Ever heard of the 2 second rule??
WAIT! I need to get my head around this. Either you are 35 years old or it's been 35 years since you have been hit by a bullet. If it is the latter, are you sure it was a stray bullet?

After watching instructors get bored of listening to the whining about the cones being too tight, it is impossible and then the instructors go through the course with ease on even bigger bikes it is fun to watch the faces. Some students just don't get it. They really should never be on two wheels in public. It is not a question of if but when they are going to wreck. Wrong attitude, low skills, wrong bikes (normally all three).
People are not used to failing in this "everybody get's a ribbon" world we live in.
I failed getting my M2, bike was crap but so were my riding skills. I sucked it up and booked some private lessons.
And loved every minute of learning, next attempt was a breeze, got M2 and M without issue as I remembered my training and relaxed.

During my M1X exam, we were at the very last course of the exam.
I think it was the right hand sweeper with the complete stop at the end.
Dude rides through the sweeper no problem. Comes up to the complete stop, endos, lands the rear wheel, drops the bike, falls down, instructors standing around him making sure he is ok. He is completely fine physically. lies on his back for another good 5min completely still. Automatic fail.
everyone felt for that guy.
