    Improving hand/eye coordination and self-confidence

    When it comes to riding a motorcycle there is no greater input than your eyes. In-turn, our hands upon the bars as we turn from one corner to the next. the two must connect and connect without question.

    Is anyone here interested in having a "juggling" social group. I use to belong to one years ago. Even performed on the Boulder Mall. And yes you can drink and juggle--sometimes it actually adds to the fun. Anyways, it is a great way to socialize and enhance some motor skills. You'd be amazed at what you can do with a bowling ball, bag of cotton balls and a cell phone. We can meet at each other's homes and have at it.

    Your start up costs are cheap: Three tennis balls or even better, bean bags.

    Who's in? (I'm serious)

    I can think of a couple things I'd like that girl in xxuxx's avatar to juggle.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    I've already developed my own eye-hand coordination training regiment.

    But thanks.

    Hmmm ... the coordination part: Trying not to get it in your eyes while using your hand?

    Jeff,
    You and Dana (the class comics --and I say that with all respect) should really do this. It would totally add to your "fun" department. I could just see you guys now. Hammering down some good jibes at each other and anybody that stepped into your realm while tossing knives back and forth.
