If they look like they might, they will!
If they look at you they don't see you!
Always watch their heads many only pretend to look,
if their head turns at all assume they'll turn or merge!
(this last tip has saved me several times)
Stay at least 1 1/2 times the distace you would in a car!
Never rush a light nor run one try not to be first through
a light if possible!
Treat all other drivers as idiots most will prove you right!
Always avoid riding beside another vehicle for more then a second or two!
Get a loud abnoxious horn and use it!
Watch everything and everyone around you at all times!!!!!
But most of all have fun, ride safe: From a soon to be Savage owner
as a reminder to himself after 5 years away from biking I can't wait!!!!
any other tips ? anyone? PS 7/365 rider for 8 years only close once my own fault on ice.
