Winter Riding Hazards

It's been while since my last post, but this recent bad weather has reminded me that riders are even more vulnerable at night, and in rain - specially in urban areas where more people commute by motorcycle.

Here in California lane spliiting is legal and can save hours in the course of a week, and sometimes a day!

A couple of recent news reports of fatal motorcycle crashes have alerted me to the fact that merging on to freeways is specially hazardous for riders - doubly so in wet or dark conditions. Its no consolation if it turns out the car or truck driver was "At Fault'. Regular commuters generally develop cautious approaches, but extreme vigilance is the key to survival.

Its a sad fact of life, that insurance for your motorcycle only fixes some of the financial issues of a wreck - not the pain, discomfort - and sometimes the finality.

So makes sure you're covered properly - for you and any passengers - and
Ride Safe!
