Where should #motorcycle riders look when cornering?

In Episode 27 of Better Riding, Michael Mann is joined by #expert coach Mark McVeigh to break down the visual strategies that separate good riders from great ones.

From understanding the vanishing (limit) point, to avoiding target fixation, managing peripheral vision, and ensuring your eyes stay ahead of your stopping distance, this episode dives deep into how vision drives smoother, safer and more confident cornering on the road.

Backed by real-world coaching experience and rider research, Mark (https://www.motorbikecoach.com) explains why many riders look too close, how that leads to surprises in corners, and what you can do to retrain your vision with simple, practical drills you can use on every ride.
