I couldn't recommend these types of practice runs enough. I remember purposefully disengaging the rear wheel ABS for the first time in Taijikistan. The roads were nice and predictable, had quite some fun. Then I forgot about it and ended up in a spectacular crash... a combination of sand and deep roots, target fixation and panic braking. Hopefully it ended up with a good experience and no damage on the (bulletproof) KTM 1190. Keep practicing! :D
That's good advice and I believe in practicing myself. Not wheelies or anything crazy, but turning, emergency braking, avoidance techniques, speed cornering, smooth throttle/clutch, that kind of stuff. I am a believer for sure :)

I didn't know they had enough power to do so. My KLX250 doesn't/
Just barely. But now I know it CAN be done :)
