Great advice. My only problem with the crotchrockets is that their riders don't exactly go out of their way to improve their visibility to automobile drivers. I can't remember the last time I saw a motorcycle with its headlight on.

And the triple-digit-two-wheelers, by necessity, have to fold themselves into an aerodynamic riding position.

Scares the hell out of me.

Since at least 1985, it has been IMPOSSIBLE to turn the headlights on US motorcycles OFF. You should open your eyes and save a life. All of them are ON.
