My latest riding advice: I'm finding at the beginning and end of every month, when people are moving from apartment to apartment, there seems to be a lot of random belongings (just last week, a mattress and nightstand) strewn on the highway from overloaded pickup trucks. Ride safe and mind the gap.

We are out gunned.
I still dig the loud pipe strategy. A lot of people say that they point backwards so no one hears them. To which I say, your aren't loud enough then.
I use the throttle like a horn. Clutch it and blip in slow traffic, just open her up at speed.
They'll notice you, but maybe, still try to hit you.
