Very true, you have to always be scanning the road and predicting what drivers will do in order to save your hide
It's probably been said later on the thread as I have not gone through the whole thing, yes there is bigger risk involved in riding the motorcycle compared to cars but the root of all problems is the driver/rider and his/her mindset when operating such machine. I'm more into custom bikes rather than crotch rockets, I wouldn't mind me a Harley VRSCDX aka the Night-Rod, with my personal notes to it
Motorcycles are not dangerous, unless you are being careless. But being careful is not enough since a lot of drivers are running too fast.
