With my RKC the windshield is easily detachable. Recommend we do an even swap.

Default More cautious in the cage

I too am more cautious in my car due to my motorcycle riding experience. And I agree with other comments - ride defensively!!!

I agree, the bike has made me a better cage driver.

Sometimes people don't see you when you are in a car so I try to drive my cage with a motorcycle mentality. I have a better chance surviving a car crash than a bike crash, but I'm doing what I can to avoid both. If you think "What is the worst that can happen" in a driving situation, you can take steps to avoid accidents.

I appreciate your concern Casper but you have a nice ride yourself!
I reminded myself to remain on full awareness today and it seemed to work out well.

I just ride and think or day-dream about all kind-a sh*t, listen to my music, check out the nature and the scenery, etc. Then when something comes up I seem to react to it. Works for me.

Honest to God, I've caught myself dozing off on my Ultra while riding home from work on a warm afternoon. Now that is some scary s#*t!!!!

Don't relax too much or you'll be waking up in the hospital or the pearly gates.
