I have been on the forum for some time now. I enjoy the discussions about rides, events and problem solving. The past few nights i have spent time reading the posts in the Safety section. It has been great to read threads then cause me to stop and remember what it takes to enjoy our great pass time.
Many of the posts are older but they have been a refreshing spring to drink from. Thanks to all who have shared some GREAT advice.
The best safety advise I ever got can be summed up in one sentence: "Ride like you're invisible." 30 years of ride - never been down (yet)- in part because that is always in my head.
I'll take it a step further, "Ride like you're invisible and all the cagers are aiming to hit you; they can't see you so are just taking random swipes hoping to get lucky."

For Safety: I try not to right at night. In a big city with lots of street lights is one thing. Where your going, NO street lights, and those 4 legged thing running around.
