Based on my brief experience riding while in school, motorcyclists’ best chance of survival is to imagine they are invisible to car drivers. This is true even when they think they have made eye contact with the car driver. Luckily for my brother and me, the motorcycle we rode quit and we didn’t have enough money to fix it.
Many motorcyclists are tempted not to wear all their heavy protective gear while riding short distances in hot weather. The mantra is ATGATT: All the gear all the time.
The pavement at the end of the driveway is just as hard as the pavement on the other side of town or the other side of the country.
Helmet above all! When I worked at Harborview Medical Center many years ago the head ER nurse told me to encourage anyone I know who’s riding or considering riding a motorcycle to come and talk with her.
