They talk about 'muscle memory', and maybe it's true. Dirt motorcycling
requires you to coordinate all four extremities plus your body for
balance, with your right hand sometimes being used to simultaneously
brake and throttle. After not having done it for perhaps 20 years, I
found that my reactions were just the same as they had been before. The
bad news was that I hadn't cleaned the carb well enough and the bike
kept stalling at low speed. That was the last time I rode
 
Long ago I read 'Inner Tennis' and 'Inner Skiing'. The entire premise:
Distract your conscious mind from the task you're doing -- recite
poetry or add numbers or count backwards or something. It seemed to be
true for those, as well as dirt riding -- when I couldn't actually see
the trail (dark, one headlight among us, narrow mountain trail) I rode
much better than if I'd been able to see.
 
Any chance that might be useful?
 
I would love to be able to make music and envy people who can do it.
The bad news is that I have really piss-poor small muscle control and a
five-note singing range (all of them wrong). PERSEVERE!

Yep. I use a thrift store Shwinn Airdyne cycle and a thrift store
Nordictrack (original design). Both woirk well and their prices were
certainly right.

Well, I'm not talking about Chopin, here. Just scales and,
somewhere down the road, some basic chords. Just like a beginner. The
thing about scales is that regardless of "key" the intervals are the
same and the fingering is pretty much the same until one gets into those
with lots of black keys.
