All you have to do when on a Motorcycle is remember that YOU are invisible.

Not quite.

Ya see that doesn't' help a bit when someone left turns directly into your direction of travel...There won't be time to blink.

ALWAYS watch the _wheels_ on an oncoming car *and* one sitting an intersection.

Never rely on the driver’s face to telegraph their intentions.

We ride a *lot* of back roads with side roads and it’s how you stay alive.

-Always- *assume* EVERY oncoming car *is* going to turn into -any- road to the right of you as you approach it.

Adjust your speed, cover your clutch and brake and be prepared to evade way ahead of time....just in case.
