Default Strengths/Weaknesses

I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, so admins you can move if necessary.

I was talking with someone earlier today and wondered..

what are your strengths and weaknesses? street and track?

Weaknesses: Kryptonite, not trusting me, no track experience yet, and I'm a punk-bitch.

strengths: I'm a legend in my own mind, you can only hope to contain me.

Not trusting my tires and not riding twisty roads enough to get better at body positioning and such.

Street: Strength & weakness are the same. I'm overly cautious. I notice every little bad situation, driver error, little old lady, etc. I'd rather be on the track.

Track:
Strength is tight / technical stuff.
I'm good on the brakes and can overtake coming into a turn pretty easily.

Weakness is the long boring turns or the really fast trust your knee on the ground at 140mph stuff (especially if there is a bump or surface change mid-turn).
Occasionally, my overtaking on the brakes will lead to poor drive exiting the corner. I've been working on that this year.

street:
weakness riding too fast for the condtions at hand or pushing the limits for a public road way. that being said i tend to brake to early and dont carry enough corner speed
strength: comfortable in almost any situation esp. limited traction/ less then ideal road conditions. not talking about race pace here, just everyday riding and the things you face when you come over a rise and BAM there is a fucking backhoe in the road, just alot of road miles experience in a short time over alot of conditions

track: not enough time to really know, but i am sure its being too early on the brakes
