    I think we as motorcyclists do actually forget that perhaps the car drivers do not see us due to things like the previous video......

    Yup, or had his headlight on fullbeam, or riding faster, or weaving about to break up the blind spots, or making some noise, or....

    Ride around like an axe murderer and you have no problems, except other bikers staying away from you.. not such a bad thing either though.

    Nup. It's a 2stroke, Suzuki...possibly a T250.
    And yes, the rider was not well-positioned.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    The road is no place to race

    Just found this 30 second vid, and I think its' worth starting a thread about. Not much to discuss though. Just watch it.

    Unusual Road Safety Ad

    I stumbled across this on youtube

    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity

    Damn, where is Sniper when you need him, he would have seized this opportunity with his repost quick response team.

    But it is an extremely effective ad.
