My phone stays in my pocket. No music. Only GPS via my Sena headset when needed. I cut calls short until I can pullover or arrive to talk. I saw a woman driving with her elbows to put face makeup on as I passed. I revved as I passed her open window. She probably had Pelosi eyebrows after ;) People texting in cars or high as a kite on weed. I drive loud and bright and aggressive. Been riding since 1983. I was a moto messenger in NYC back then. Learning to actually ride and control a moto as opposed to just commuting has given me some really neat skills to avoid the inevitable bad situation by pulling off some maneuvers you only learn by pushing it. Drive a car if you don't want to really ride.
- eggy 3y agoI've been riding since I was 18, and I am now almost 60, so I know a bit about reading traffic and being vigilant. It has also made me a better car driver, because the head-on-a-swivel never quits! Complacency is the cause of most accidents. I had over 400 technical dives repairing underwater hydraulics and electronics as well as rope work at height and it is when the 'expert' gets complacent that the accident happens. Now with driving a motorcycle you are the alert one, and there are many passive, complacent drivers.
