Looking ahead and sliding the front. I've fallen 2 times on major front slides but didn't feel it start to slide, just traction, traction, then gone. I can feel little slides and recover them but the major ones I can't react soon enough to save.

The learning process...skills, maintenance, mods, and f-ing tires. Then having to explain to the wife....that it's not THAT expensive.

Dealing with idiot drivers who are in front/near me and cut me off or don't bother paying attention to the road. I'll usually dart around them or pull all the way upto light just to not be near them.

on the street, I don't feel any big issues except for having urges to do stupid things sometimes, like inside passing an SUV at an intersection. But thankfully I can usually control those impulses and not actually do them

on the track, a huge problem I have is remembering to loosen up on the grips. There are plenty of others, but that's the big one

and being one of only two coaches for a day on Pocono East, now that's frigging exhausting!
