But you would be surprised how many Motorcycle Riders don't know or simply don't use

these simple, potentially life saving, hand signals.

Remember these are just a few and can help each of us arrive safely and enjoy our hobby.

Also we may help one another avoid a dredded traffic citation.

Don't be bashful with the turn signals either but this is mostly focusing on hand signals.

Remember it's ride to live and ride to live and ride to live.

It's not a race although you may like dragging the pegs on every turn, just back off a bit.

The tires will last longer and you may just live to ride another day.

Spring she's a comin and I'm ready.

So as your loadin that battery with juice and airing up those tires take a moment to reflect.

Remember it's not a race but his video is.

Now this is what they mean about Hoggin The Lane or in this case hogs at a Track.

This is funny I don't care who you are.

Nobody can make stuff like this up.

I/we use hand signals 90% of the time. Except at night of coarse.  :-\ I mostly use them to turn and do the 'slow down' to oncoming bikes, she will use the stop and turn. And of coarse a few hand jestures!  :2funny: Cant see what your video has since I'm at work.


Now you're in the world of the wolves...

IIRC, the Sportster came out of flat track racing.  It was kinda of humourous watching all types of HDs race including the big twin with the sidecar.

People are more passionately opposed to wearing fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than bikers.

It is a lot easier for us guys that started driving before they had turn signals on cars.  :(

How do they have the nerve to call that a safety video?  He spent most of his time on the left side of the road.  He's lucky that all those trucks were on the wrong side too!!


OK.  I'm just kidding.  I'm not an idiot.  Really.
