    Steve - what did you find new in this?

    My perspective: the camouflage of a small, multi-colored object backgrounded by multi-colors is spot on. Never thought of it that way before.
    New thought: maybe those GoldWing riders that dress to match their all-one-color bikes & helmets have already thought this out.....
    Also, I use weaving whenever I feel it necessary, either to get "tail-gate-guy" off the chrome tip on my rear fender, or be seen at approaching intersections.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    After over 64 years on the front, back and in the middle of a motorcycle(My mother was 6 month preg with me when she flipped my dad's H-D in 1950).
    There are three rules I have ridden and followed all my life and have served me well in preventing any cages from doing me harm.

    Rule 1: You and your motorcycle are invisible to all other vehicles on the road! Dress and ride accordingly.

    Rule 2: Any cage driver who can see you is out to kill you!

    Rule 3: Never forget rule #1!!!

    The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    So basically, you were dropped on your head before you were even born?

    Re-tired, or Re-tard. Depends on your attitude.

    Good clip.
    I liked the tip and information about intentionally weaving when approaching a cage that might pull out.
    Agree with 53driver - here in NY, as well, flashing beams is typically interpreted as an indication that you're going to yield to the other guy, making it dangerous to try if you're not intending to yield. Steady high beam during the day is helpful, though.

    When you posted the link, you wrote that you didn't like these sorts of videos, but that this one adds "a new thought."
    I was wondering what your new thought was.....

    Sorry to confuse you!
