Does Riding Longer Actually Make You a Better Rider?

Does riding for longer actually make someone a better rider… or just a more experienced one? At what point does experience become skill, and can years on the road sometimes reinforce bad habits instead of improving ability? This isn’t an attack on older riders or newer riders. It’s an honest discussion about confidence, complacency, learning, ego and what truly makes a skilled motorcyclist. I’d genuinely like to hear opinions from riders of all ages and experience levels on this one. 🏍️ New post now live on RideTorque. #Motorcycling #RideTorque #RiderExperience #MotorcycleSafety #BikerDiscussion #AdvancedRiding
