My quest to make motorcycle riding that tad bit safer
It began with a spark—a dormant passion reignited after many years away from motorcycling. Life had steered me in different directions, away from the saddle, but something deep inside pulled me back to the thrill and freedom that only riding offers. Returning to motorcycling after such an extended hiatus was daunting yet exhilarating. I vividly recall my first CBT session: the nerves, the good-natured laughter at my clumsy mistakes, and the sheer joy when everything finally clicked into place.
Challenges arose frequently: vibration jitter interfering with sensor accuracy, synchronization issues between sampling rates and engine RPM, and false positives during long rides. Thousands of miles of rigorous testing followed, notably including Scotland’s iconic NC500 route alongside Johny—misty mornings, sweeping highland bends, and dramatic descents providing the ideal proving grounds. Currently, I’m finalizing user-friendly software utilities, enabling riders to easily update BrakeBright firmware, customize features, and personalize the system to match individual riding styles and preferences.
