I once went to Buddhist monastery to meditate, a screw driver against a tile floor was never mentioned in my quest for enlightenment but living in the moment and consciousness was and still is the core of Buddhist philosophy. The tenant taught is to experience what you are doing in the moment to use all of one’s senses in everything one does. It doesn’t matter whether you are drinking coffee, running a screw driver against a tile floor, smelling flowers, eating, talking to a friend, raking leaves, or riding a motorcycle.
Mugget brings up a good point about getting on the motorcycle and feeling like sand pouring into the bike except that we dont want all that sand on the race line..LOL!
I see this brought up so many times and I always wondered myself, at an earlier stage of riding consciousness 
. The feel on the street and the feel on the track are different. What we search for is different. Recently I had a conversation about racing and riding wth a friend who rides in the light weight twin class. We were talking about riding in the different classes and feel….he was using a rodeo analogy when he said, “we barrel race and you bull ride”.
When all the practice is done, when all the illustrations are looked over, when we’ve looked at it from every angle, when we’ve imagined it a million times over, you stll have to do it to know what it feels like. If you live in the moment, whether you street ride or race, you will reach a higher level of consciousness or in my case unconsciousness! Cheers.
