I'm a believer in "f@#king nobody is looking for us." Rule #1 Ride like you are invisiable to everyone else. Rule #2 Read Rule #1 “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebtx12 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I ride my motorcycle in Dallas, is this dangerous, hell yes. As someone mentioned, I do carry a large life policy on myself, just in case. Will I stop riding, certainly not, I've been a rider for over 20 years. Stay safe all.

faffi Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I have learned that it pays to expect the unexpected and not to get angry or even upset when somebody fail to see me and barges ahead as if I wasn't there - we do not ride well when agitated. Also, it doesn't help one iota to be right - as the softer part, we are the ones ending up in the ambulance if push comes to shove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I prefer to make them embarrassed as it seems to have a slim chance of educating them to pay more attention next time - I do not need any more angry motorists around me than there already are. Every time you get angry, your primal instincts are taking control, leaving the thinking part of the brain out of the equation. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
