2. What is the most difficult thing to learn when riding a bike? What are our biggest challenges?
3. What are our biggest problems as motorcycle riders?

Let me begin:
1. I am afraid to brake hard thinking I will lose the front......
I am afraid of running over a wild animal and crash....
I am afraid of running over sand and dust while at full lean.....
I am afraid not to die on the roads...

2. The most difficult thing to learn as a motorcycle rider are the brakes.

3. The biggest problem is the fact that you are not alone on the roads.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

My 2 cents.

1. What are our greatest fears, frustrations and anxieties as motorcycle riders?

Me
Deer, the person that looks at me but doesn't see me and "new to me" blind turns.

2. What is the most difficult thing to learn when riding a bike? What are our biggest challenges?

Me
Proper turning/steering and keeping distance between me and vehicle ahead always a safe one.

3. What are our biggest problems as motorcycle riders?

Forgetting that safety is our responsibility because who wants to be right, all the way to the hospital.

Johnnj I would rather that than than the following alternative. Not bleeding out from the stomach wound. Being rescued just in the nick of time to find out the spinal injury was going to leave me unable to change the channel to something I wanted to watch on TV (any type of motorcycle racing will do) while laying in bed the rest of my life.

goverment legislation ,here europe taking away our right to ride motorcycles ,. limiting max bhp ,making it extremly difficult to obtain licence ,ie 2 part tests etc ,

1. I'm still a new rider so my biggest fear is leaning too far in a turn and losing it
2. low speed turning gave me problems
3. around here, my biggest problems seems to be stupid teenage drivers not paying attention and the occasional bee in the face.

Greatest fear is the idiot drivers on the road in cars with a cell phone pasted to their ear not paying attention. Also sand as I am leaning into a curve.
Most difficult to learn was starting out on an incline without moving backward.
Biggest problem – The Weather.
