The sad fact is, you can be the best motorcycle rider on the planet, and play like no one can see ya, and the old lady, or anyone else can still left into your direction of travel and launch you into a grave in a split second, and nothing can be done about it.

I don't agree. There are a lot of things that can be done. It is up to you to keep yourself alive.

You're wrong...this isn't even debatable.

If your on your bike, even moving at 35 mph or so, traveling straight, and the vehicle in the left turn bay fails to see ya, and left turns in from of you, your done, and there is not a damn thing your going to do about it. ((Nothing))

Happens all the time my friend, and the rider has little or no time to even react. ...Unfortunately regardless of how great of motorcycle rider you are, you can be laid to rest in second.

My point is there are things that can be done to decrease the odds of this happening. You start riding bikes with a lot of luck and no experience. The goal is to increase your experience before your luck runs out.
