Getting off it and logging onto KB.Originally Posted by dpex
Riding into the sun, when the sun is low and in your eyes?
Riding from sufilled areas into deeply shaded areas, when the sun is low and in your face?
Riding against traffic which has the sun down very low and in their faces?
Riding into deep shade, against the sun, when its very low and in the faces of on-coming traffic?
Riding against traffic in very low sun, into a shaded area, wearing black, dark bike, lights off?
Riding toward others driving in low azimuth sun, first thing in the morning?
Ditto, during home traffic?
Riding against a very low sun, while sitting on your bike backwards, and texting?
Doesn't play well with others

I always feel most at risk when turning the ignition on after the bike's been parked out of my sight for any length of time.

You mean you don't do a visual scan for any odd looking attachments with wires and a ticking noise before putting the key in the ignition?

Not quite as bad as the M/C test.
when going over an obstruction do you:-
a) go at it full pelt
b) get off and push
c) hide in it's shade
or it seems like this anyway

Is this a test? if I had known there was going to be a test I wouldn't have come in today.

The most dangerous moment on a bike would have to be stopping very quickly when you don't intend to. It normally means while moving, you hit something very hard that is not moving.
That is extremely dangerous. If you are lucky to come around after experiencing such a sudden stop, you normally hurt........a lot.......
If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

The point of the exercise was to ulimate the necessity for us all (cagers and bikers alike) to drive/ride in/on the vehicle of the other.
There's vehiclists out there with 20/20 vision and the reflexes of a wild cat.
There's also the old and infirm, and a gazillion combinations in between.
The fact is; driving in bright sunlight, when the sun is low, into a shaded area, even when you have 20/20 vision, is a significant danger, simply because the little diddlies which give you vision simply can't relflex quickly enough...ergo, can't 'see' into a dark space while in bright sunlight, for several seconds.
Now add a slightly dirty visor or cage windscreen to the mix.
The driver/rider gets the sun-strike on the dirty bit in front and absolutely everything in the darker patch becomes more or less invisible, for a few seconds.
And so the point of this post/poll was to ask you to accept that sun-strike is bad enough when you're on your game. But that a very high percentage of cagers are far from on their games.
Thus, by putting your imagination into what they may or may not be seeing, as they move toward you, from bright sun (in sun-strike conditions) might just cause you to take evasive action even before you think you should.
Only 'Now' exists in reality.

bikes and babes are best naked
I found I had a fluffy seam when my crotch got wet.
