I'm pretty sure this is Odot's tip after the ride.When riding in a group, stager, stagger, stagger.

See notes in above quote...1. Never ride angry
I am an angry man, Does that mean I should never ride?
2. Never ride with even one drink under your belt...even that will affect your judgement
This would limit my riding time severely. I always have at least one drink under my belt. That's why I'm so angry...
3. Do safety checks on your bike..and often
4. Never ride above your head
I usually keep my head above my bike...
5. Don't booze it up the day before the big ride
Huh? That means I would never be able to ride
6. Never date or marry an ugly woman
Oh, damn... now you're getting personal. I'm not sure if I married an ugly woman. I can't tell cause I'm half in the bag all the time.
7. Watch for those on a cell phone...perrsonally, I have almost been slammed a few times becaus of this nasty habit.
98% of all cagers are on the cell phone. It's a fact. Better just stay home and get drunk.
8. Never put yourself in a lane position which would allow someone else to share the lane.
I don't even share a joint, nevermind a lane.
9. Stay out of other drivers/riders blind spots
OK... but what about my blind spots?
10. Ride often to keep your skills up....riding 1000 miles a year won't do it.
With the prior 9 rules how can I ride often? I'll never achieve the mastery of this...
...and one thing my flight instructor told me - before you try something questionable, ask yourself, "Is this worth dying for?"
Heh. Well played.I have to disagree with the fence thing.I find that the jolt I get from using my "John Thomas" as a lightning rod gives me the edge I need to stay alert and sharp.
Back in the mid-80s when Del Mar (CA) was less developed than it is now there was a large cow pasture in a flood plain. A buddy and I were cutting through the pasture, hopping through a small stream and dodging cow flops, when we came across a fence with one bare aluminum wire. I grabbed it to go under it and leapt back about 8 feet. :dribble: I'm a city boy, ya see; No experience with electric fences.Keep you bike in gear when you stop in traffic so you can get the hell out of the way if some dummy comes up behind you too fast.
Ride in the tire lines of the vehicle ahead of you so something doesn't appear in your path from under that car.
Never pee on an electric fence. :blink:
Lane-splitting is legal in California.OK -- no one has mentioned "LANE SPLITTING". In Calif. it is not enforced, even though it probalby is illegal. On the 91 Freeway almost every morning there is a motorcycle accident and many are from lane splitting.
Nuff said?
