My vote too, I loved this article.
LET IT BE SO!

sticky?  I don't think it's sticky material.  Half the "tips" are redundant (like 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 33, 34, 43, and 44 for example...then there's like 13 gear ones that all say the same thing)...half the remainder are common f%$king sense like drive defensively...and the rest are flat f%$king stupid...like 46.  Everything is harder to see after dark?  No shaZam! dillweed.

I can see this list racking up the saved lives.

Mak has something up his butt as usual...

you gotta remember that the tips are not common sense to everyone.
everyone is an ignorant schmuck when they first start out riding.

sticky sticky sticky

Mak, you have a point, but at the same time, so does l3, there are a lot of smucks out there, just look at all the 18 year old kids on sportbikes with no gear racing in downtown... not that there are any in this forum per-say, but still nice to keep these points in mind.

In the words of Snoop Dogg (not a fan, but here goes) - STICKY ICKY ICKY!!

I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, but this would be a good sticky...

Good Point. BUMP

One thing that goes with the being invisible tip is to play the 'how are they going to kill me game'. While you're cruising allong, think about all the ways that everyone could kill you and then figure out what to do in each of those situations. If you don't have an out for every situation, adjust your riding, lane position, following distance etc so that you do have an out.

Since the traffic situation is constantly changing you constantly have to revise your course of action. It at least keep you entertained since you don't have a radio, and as a bonus it may keep you alive 

Oh yeah, and be really carefull (or preferably don't ride)  in the city arround closing time since everyone is loaded. 

Ditto,

In the city for sure, any time after 7:00 should be considered the  "look out for drunk drivers" practice time. There are all the people leaving the happy hours, followed by the persistent drinkers, followed by the students and other late night drinkers.

That's always a plus in my book!

MSF teaches to always look out for the 'what if's', you always do have to assume that the driver is going to possibly do the stupidest thing at the most inappropriate time for you. Damn Cagers 

I'll take any advice that helps keep me vertical and breathing!
