Ralph....the closing your eyes thing really does work. I normally have my eyes wide open and I watch the road both in front and well ahead so that I can be aware of what is coming up, but occasionally, more for fun really, I close my eyes through a set of twisties and it is indeed like being on a fairground ride...lol.
