The trick is to keep the rider from sailing over the handlebars when the bike hits the %$@#$^$# car that turns in front of them without looking.

The last time I T-boned a truck on a motorcycle, I avoided injury by standing on the pegs immediately before impact and being thrown *over* the vehicle.

Seemed intuitively obvious at the time.

Hi Adam-

Clearing a vehicle that turns in front of a motorcyclist depends heavily upon the shape and height of the offending vehicle. One wouldn't clear a box-shaped delivery van the same way they might clear a low-slung sportscar...
