I've ridden motorcycles off and on for nearly 50 years, everything from a Honda 50 to a 1200cc Indian Chief. My current cycle is a Kawasaki KLR250. I learned early on that you were often invisible to other drivers and to drive defensively. Actually, I found for motorcycles being too timid could get you in trouble too. I finally developed an offensive/defensive style of riding. Offensive in that I'd take my legal right-of-way, but defensive by realizing full well that I'd come out second in any collision and that if the big bad car wants to go first, the road is all his. I won't even flip the moron off. If he's that aggressive and dumb I don't want him to use his car as a weapon against me.
