If you have a place to do it. "line adjustment" skills can be upgraded by finding an open, straight stretch of highway without traffic and practive weaving the dotted line at the speed limit. Start out weaving blocks of three line segments and work up to weaving between each one. Then, again....if
you have access to a place to do it you will need to find a long, flat, open curve without traffic and practice weaving the dotted lines while also turning through the curve. Eventually, you will be able to weave cones if they were placed center of your lane while negotiating a winding, uphill, downhill, twisty country road. Thats what I did to work on those skills.
Do it until it is a reflex action.

The first motorcycle I tried to ride on the street felt incredibly heavy (just a 650) until I thought through this. Once I figured out what was going on, I switched my brain to "high-speed downhill" and my hands started steering correctly. I'm still practicing line adjustment in turns 3 seasons later.Komorebi-The light filtering through the trees.
