Driving home on my bike (motorcycle) and this truck decides to come into my lane into oncoming traffic. I was like :Q honked my horn, got ready to do some emergency braking but he realized what he was doing and changed lanes.

I swear....when you're riding a bike...its like people are blind to you or something.

The other day, a guy pulls out in front of me (luckily I wasn't too close) and I drain my horn, braking to a stop.

Last year, girl tried to switch lanes on me and come run me over as I was driving next to her.

Why do people have so many problems seeing motorcycles???
 
Drivers are not programmed to look for motorcycles... it would be nice if they did but its up to you to be a defensive rider.

Ive had my M1 for a couple of years now and I still won't ride in the city... thats why I put off buying a bike again... its too crazy around here. So I bought bicycles. 😕 😀
 
During the day, I have my BRIGHT headlight on at all times. Fvck'em if they honk or flash their brights at me; that just means they actually SAW ME!!

I dim it at night, but slow waaaay the heck down.
