Target fixation and sensory overload. Your brain is not programmed to handle that type of input.
It really does make you wonder what you're missing every time you do anything in life. It takes a lot of mental power to deliberately step back and reassess an environment when something isn't quite right.
The little red button on the right handlebar is not an engine start button. It engages the infinite invisibility generator that just happens to sound like a motorcycle engine.

"Steady fixation favours disappearance, blinks or gaze shifts induce reappearance. 1. Steady forward fixation is the default of the cell phone user. 2. This is also why the rider should constantly be checking mirrors and practicing "head on a stick" swivel scanning. It takes a lot of mental power to deliberately step back and reassess an environment (something something, I zoned out - HC) I encourage everyone to stand up on their footpegs and get a new perspective, like in Dead Poet's Society. |

According to Michael Bach, "Steady fixation favours disappearance, blinks or gaze shifts induce reappearance. All in all reminiscent of the Troxler effect, but stronger and more resistant to residual eye movements." I think that's good advice, for both cage and MC drivers. This post reminded me of the following video I saw in my police academy training (don't know if this will work via computer; best chance is probably in full-screen mode). |

I think the thing to learn from this is to always keep the eyes moving. Constantly scan near, far, and in between while also watching left to right
