[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1353461, member: 29492"] When you're first in line at a stoplight, look for the sawcuts in the pavement and try to stop directly on one of them. Those are the detectors for the traffic signal. An FJR has enough metal to trigger the detector no matter where you stop, but it's good to stop near the lane line because it also keeps you out of the oily sections of the lane. If you're not first in line at the stoplight, stopping near the left lane line positions your headlight directly in the driver's outside mirror of the car/truck in front of you. That makes you very visible. Hanging out in a 18-wheeler's blind spot is asking for trouble. NEVER ride beside or close behind them; they throw off huge chunks of tire, block your view of debris in the travel lane, and (apparently) can back up onto and over your motorbike. EDIT: Glad you're OK. [/QUOTE]
