I was thinking the other day this might be a cool/informative thread. Kinda like a "Hints from Heloise", for bikers, (For those of us old enough to remember that...... if not, Google her, lol!).
I'll start it out with one that I was reminded of again recently from way back.......
"When approaching an unknown or unfamiliar curve in the twisties and there's a buttload of skid marks leading into it, SLOW THE EFF DOWN MAN! There's a good chance it's tighter then it looks!
When you are riding got thirsty and see a bar on the road.....stop[emoji4][emoji481]....because the next couple of ???miles there couldn't be nothing...[emoji20]
When you get to the end of your driveway, Ride like every vehicle you encounter will try to run over you. Cuz the Will! Advise from 1965, even more true today.
If you are out riding the rural two lane highways and lose your bearings watch for a water tower and when you spot one off in the distance head for it. A water tower means there is at least a small community there and likely a crossroad(s) with road directional signs.
If your are ever following another bike, and he puts his turn signal (left or right) on, and there is a cage waiting to pull out of a side street (left or right), slow the EFF down!! The odds are the cager thinks you are riding together and that both of you are turning, and he will pull out as soon as the bike in front starts his turn. You are gonna T bone that cage if you haven't slowed down. This also pertains to a car making a left turn across your path. :crying
If you are out on the highway and it starts to rain , and you pull under an overpass , pull the bikes as far forwards and as close to the barrier as possible (hazards on) , stand on the other side of the barrier away from the traffic...in case a distracted driver drifts from his lane and plows thru the sheltering bikers , only bikes get damaged.......and the driver.
