dancogan said:I especially believe in what RichardCook said-try to keep as big a margin of safety around you as you can. Not always possible, especially in heavy traffic areas, but worth trying.

my driving habits never change....whether in commercial truck, cage, or bike
(except when I give some dude in a motorhome a thrill )
pmdave said:At the risk of appearing to be blatantly commercial, may I suggest the book Proficient Motorcycling, available from Barnes & Noble, www.amazon.com, wwwWhiteHorsePress.com, or tel 888 738-2665
PM is a lot easier to read than the "Hurt Report". Rumor has it that an update(second edition) is in the works with a proposed release in 2008.
Nick Ienatsch's book "Sport Riding Techniques" is also good, although focused primarily on racetrack skills.

What he said....RTRandy said:You mean at the risk of being blatantly helpful. I have both Proficient Motorcycling and More Proficient Moyorcycling here on my shelf and have read them cover to cover. I've also given copies to new rider friends when I've had the chance. Those books have given me a great prospective of riding and allowed me to enjoy miles on the road feeling safe and in control. Those books should be a manditory read for anyone on two wheels (not to mention side cars) as far as I'm concerned. Glad you're here to add wisdom to this forum.

I did a nice little stoppie and got stopped in time. Yup, people don't see anything!

Seems he missed the exit onto the street that I was entering from so he just decided to pull a U-Turn at the on-ramp. Roadway was wide enough so I had no problem missing him (I was driving a mini-van that day).
