Red,

You certainly have nothing to apologize for, I for one might enjoy hearing from a fellow concerned rider who has good advice, and on a long trip I think wireless comms would be quite useful.

I think my point, which I didn't make very well at all, is that good riding is largely a mental game- and as a world level athlete in a sport with a great deal of mental focus required (archery to be specific), I wouldn't want to be told something that might raise doubt before executing a difficult skill.

Because I am hard-wired for my mental game in archery and in practical pistol, that same mindset personally precludes me from saying something negative like "be careful" to another rider, before that rider takes on a tough set of turns. Especially as I am by no means a world level rider!

That's where I was coming from. Sorry I was not more clear.
