Poppycock - there was a time when 90+% of my 'spirited riding' happened in London. Principally because riding an hour to get out of town seemed like a schlep when there were a profusion of one way systems and industrial estates on my doorstep that were designed for knee-down goodness.
LA is exactly the opposite, the city is god awful to ride around but the surrounding hills are ace.
We should distinguish between balls and skills.
You need both for motorbikes, and I see a lots of balls around, you can tell from how they start from a traffic light and how they accelerate on the city roads.
But I'm afraid much less skilled ones, how I can tell?
Because I can read the geography on the surface of the tyres, how much cornering and how much weight has been delivered on it.
Then what it is a real sporty motorbike and the real specs of it would be a bit too long for now.
