Title: Good example of what NOT to do
Post by: Arnie on July 09, 2015, 10:22:03 PM
Several things he did wrong here.
Minimal protective gear, didn't look, didn't trust his bike's ability to corner.

and here's an example of how to split lanes (helps to have a siren) exciting ride along

Bizarre...It's almost if he's leaning, but not counter steering?  That wasn't that tight of a turn and he ran wide while the bike was leaned over (at one point) near peg-scraping territory.  Strange this.

That was awesome!  That siren would shorten up someone's Los Angeles commute!   :good2:

No. 1 is (IMO) a good example for "being paralysed when getting frightened". This guy should practise (aside of buying some gear)!!! NO reason to crash - too slow, far too upright, he didn't even brake. Stupid.

No. 2 - I want a siren and blue flashlights; could really improve my daily way to work!

Cheers Jo
