Dick I rode for 10 years and what really upset me in reading if motorcycle accidents with motor vehicles is the auto drivers always claim “I didn’t see him” and he gets away with it. Dam auto drivers are not paying attention. I took a lot if safe riding courses with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and you learn a whole lot of how to be seen, you notice cars that dont have sidevuew murrors. Learn how to “protect your lane” never ride the “oil line” in the middle of your lane. Always a helmet and good protective clothing. Enjoyed it all with no loud pipes Safe cruising Bob Kovach Sent from my iPhone Chief Engineer Bob Kovach (KJ4UGE) Onboard M/Y ALLEZ!
