[QUOTE="MFE, post: 16416402, member: 36397"] Look where you want to go, not where you're afraid you might be going. Target fixation is built into our lizard brains and it's the bane of motorcyclists everywhere. Your lizard brain WILL tell you to drive at that bush, or off the side of the road, simply because that's where you're looking, and you're scared. The only way to stop this from happening is to recognize that t's happening, and [i]give your brain different information[/i]. Do this by instead looking where you [i]want[/i] to go, at which point, your lizard brain says "OK cool, let's go there, no big deal". Looking further ahead in the first place helps a ton, but when you get spooked (and you will), you will target-fixate. If you've ever seen a video of a guy standing his motorcycle up mid-corner and running wide into oncoming traffic or the guardrail or off the cliff, 100% guaranteed Target Fixation was the cause. BTW works the same in cars, boats, bicycles, skateboards, any form of transportation. [/QUOTE]
