I am someone who lives in a very flat area, not a single hill. Suppose I was taking a road trip and had to go up and down some mountains, what tips should I consider to be safe? How do I avoid ruining my clutch or my breaks?

    Slow down for the downhill tight turns. Turn your shoulders toward the apex. Don’t be afraid to lean a little more if you have to.

      Yep, look where you want to go, not where you don’t want to go.

      It’s so weird how our brains work - even after decades on 2 wheels, I sometimes look at what I want to avoid, and, well, I don’t avoid it then.
