Survival Tips - Add Yours Here

Toooo much for me to red DJ,

so at the posibility of doubling up here is one I always use in heavy traffic. (or any traffic)

Travel faster than the traffic around you.
In a helmet it is like wearing blinkers(the horse kind)
If you are travelling faster(not ridiculously faster!!) than the rest of the traffic you dont need to check as much on side and traffic behind you, and focus more on the dickheads in front of you. - Oh and treat everyone like they are totally blind to motor bikes, never assume that you have the right of way and . . . did I mention, assume that all car drivers are dickheads who will cut you off and plead that they didn't see you!......

Aggressive and cautious at the same time.

Oh . . . and if I dont feel 100% healthy and alert, I take the car!

I agree with Wardy on this one. I have had a couple of close encounters with the boys in blue lately, so the last few weeks I have been riding like a good little boy (very hard to do on a busa ). In this time I have had more near misses than ever before. From now on I'll be out in front .. Sorry officer, I value my life more than my licence.
