2. Never slow down without checking your rear.
3. Practice emergency stops and swerves regularly.
Had a guy a few weeks ago who swerved in front of me in his SUV and then swerve back because 'I' caused him to move quickly and THAT caused him to drop his cell phone into his Starbucks cup.

Scooters, on the other hand, are legitimate targets.
• Stopping distance for motorcycles is nearly the same as for cars,
-------
What kind of 'bus' are you riding???? 'Most' motorcycles stop much more rapidly than cars.
ah motorists, what a group huh, it's hard enough when in a car I have to use ESP to guess if some idiot is going to change lanes esp on three lanes since so many people have never heard of turn signals, sorry men are the worst for it, I've got turn signals so engrained I signal at times when it is unnecessary, yeah so what...
when I was a teenager, we had friends who got severely injured when a driver changed lanes and didn't see them so I've been extra aware of motorcyclists then and now that both my brothers and my sister have bought their middle aged crisis Harley's, I continue to be extra aware in fact I was sitting a red light in my car and saw my sister tooling down the intersecting street and some bitch drove out in front of her from a parking lot at the last possible moment, which she anticipated, but as a new driver, her heart was racing after that, so was mine....
You have a great looking Bike! Have you ever taken it to the Rock Store in Topanga Canyon? or up to Laguna Seca of course in Calif... My late husband was a Cio and use to go on the Annual PIG RUNS..very fun...
Cio sp ( COP...)
and
cover and secure your loads in your truck beds...
Being mooned can be distracting.
Oh, now I understand. I thought May was the opening of motorcycle hunting season. Nah, couldn't be. It's open season all year.
And here in Floriduh, think of it as an invitation to discover the complexities of our new "No retreat" gun law.
Have a polite day. :-)
Is that why I saw so many scooters in Paris, France? And hardly any motorcycles?
Hang up and drive!
Good advice!!
This is all old news in NH, where motorcycle safety is practically a high school elective. Laconia forever!
I'm gonna be riding a scooter in a few months, buddy.
A dear friend's dad passed on a coupla months ago, and once all the probate crap and garage sale goes down, she's gonna sell me one of her daddy's scooters, so I don't have to waste gas and money driving the POS Chevy.
The family has already given me dad's old van, that I donated to a worthy cause.
I'd buy dad's Harley, but I can't afford it, nor can I afford any of the other bikes he had, though there are a few "drool-factor" rides in his small collection.
I'm only getting back on two wheels after a 10 year hiatus. The pause was caused by 3 consecutive nasty (but non-damaging) incidents on my KZ 1100.
I swore to myself after the third one (ball-bearings gravel and oil on a hairpin) that I'd never ride again.....
I guess I fibbed
