Is anyone on here an average (or worse) rider?

Not quite as quick as I used to think I was
The older I get the faster I was.Now, on track days I'm a bit to fast for intermediates and a bit too slow for the fast group ( I find it a touch too competitive these days). Done a bit of off roading in my time. Can pull a moderate wheelie when in the mood but only off the throttle, can't do clutch up. Have never done a burnout (why waste good rubber). Can get my knee down on track days but rarely do ( just not called for on public roads).
My greatest achievement is that after 30yrs of biking and in excess of half a million miles I'm still in one piece and would like to keep it that way. My biking god days are long behind me now assuming they ever arrived in the first place.

Well, that depends.Which average do you mean ?
Arithmetic mean
Pythagorean means
Geometric mean
Harmonic mean
Weighted mean
generalized f-mean
Comparison of arithmetic mean, median and mode of two log-normal distributions with different skewness
Yeah, I'm average!
But I can ride my bike off the drive without crashing.

I'm pretty crap I guess.
However I don't consciously counter steer so I reckon that's why I don't crash cos I keep the wheel pointed in the direction I want to go rather than yanking it the wrong way.
People go either side of me when on track but I have more to live for than them.
Depends how you measure success on a bike?
