If you really want to know here it is:
Everytime before I ride I'm thinking "Well..., hopefully I'll stay on today".
Once I'm on the bike and I begin riding I'm thinking "Gently now. Take it easy. Let the tires warm up. Get into the feel of it. That's it. Nice and smooth."
Then after the tires have fully warmed up and I'm aproaching my first tight right turn I am thinking "Check your speed, check your speed, check your speed, does the pavement look good, well does it, WELL?!!!... Yes it looks good. What about the traffic? No oncoming traffic. Okay, I'm almost at the right speed do you see the turn in point?, Do you see it? DO YOU SEE IT? YES!!! Alright then get ready. Leave a little in reserve in case there is something around the bend please. 10-4. Hold it,... Hold it, DON'T YOU DARE TURN IN EARLY!!, Hold it, are we at the turn in point yet,............. LEAN YOU FOOL!!!! WHOOOOOOOO!!!!! Don't you look over there! There's nothing on the outside for you. HOLD... THAT... LINE... Are you ready with the throttle? I'm already on it, just say the word. Okay as soon as we pass this apex, steady, steady,. GO!!! PUNCH IT!!! ZOOOOOM!
Then as I am pulling up to my tight left turn I'm thinking "All I ask is that you keep your head away from the centerline. Did you hear me? Yes. I'll keep my head in. Is the pavement good? Yes.... Anything else? Oh yeah, leave some reserve in case there is sand or some other crap. How much reserve do you want? LISTEN!!! No pegs today! Okay. Check your speed. Check your speed. Not too fast. Hey!!!! Not too slow either. You know the routine! Where's my turn in point? Dude!!! Where's my... I FOUND IT!!! Okay get ready. What about the traffic? Just deal with it!... Get ready. Hold it.... Hold it.... Hold i.. DO NOT TURN IN EARLY. How many times do I have to tell you! It's coming up... 3...2...LEAN!!!!! LEAN HARD YOU FOOL!!!! PUT YOUR SHOULDER INTO IT!!! AND STOP RESTING YOUR WEIGHT ON THE BARS!!! WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Are you ready with the throttle? Dude, I've BEEN READY. Alright! Hold that line. That line looks good........ CAR (pulls head and body closer to tank)... Hold that line. Ready on the throttle..... Punch it! YEAHHHHHHH!!!
And so it goes, left turn, right turn, left turn, right turn.
However,...
if I'm going around a nice long sweeper my thoughts are probably more like this:
