About 40 years ago (give or take a few decades), I would give a lecture on motorcycle safety once/month. The salients facts were concerning when accidents happened - it the first 1,000 miles, on a different bike, and within the first 90 days. Intersections were death traps, and cars were at fault in an accident 85% of the time.

Be very careful on a strange bike, no matter how long you have ridden a motorcycle.

Enjoy.

Is that some kind of Man code on advice about women?

If you wind up dead, doesn't really matter who's at fault.. you are still dead... if you ever get on a bike and ride without this thought going on in your head the entire time "Every Vehicle I see is going to try to be where I am." you probably should not be on a bike in the first place.
