Ok, stay with me here for a moment. As I read this fantastic article, my mind wandered to the applicability of some of the attention span discussion to motorcycling. And why wouldn't it.

Interesting read. Thanks for the link!

It's an entertaining article to read. But are you suggesting that the next time I'm riding at Deal's Gap that I should be worried about Yermo stealing my wallet mid-corner as I focus on my line?

As if I could ever get that close.

Lol

I was specifically referring to the bit about the human eye following a moving object in a straight line will go to the point of origin but if the motion is an arc this doesn't happen.

Also the discussion of the brain getting briefly confused when moving from one subject to an unanticipated topic or view. It's happened to me on the bike and when I was driving on the left in Ireland. Not sure what you do about it though.

Most interesting and not bike related is how when reading this I started to say to myself "no way I fall for these Shinanigans"...then I realize, "yeah right, I'd be completely screwed".

Amazing. Clearly that National Geographic show must be watched.
