I rode up to the front of the freeway off-ramp waiting on a red light (lane splitting) the truck at the front next to me starts creeping up while veering towards me, so I back up to his window and ask him “what did you say” he asks me the same question😂 and he pretended to reach in his empty lap. The light was still red so I kept backing up and was able to puncture one of his sidewalls. 💨
Most of the time the problem is people don't understand how bikes work, so they don't know how to drive around you. And a lot of the blame is also on the biker a lot of times for riding recklessly and putting themselves in a situation where they are at risk if a driver does something stupid. Don't lane split, doesn't matter if it's legal, don't do it. Don't pass a whole line of cars in a traffic jam on the highway, any second one of those cars will get tired of sitting there and switch into your lane to cut ahead and you are going to smash into them. Don't ever ride behind a car. If they are close enough to even say you are behind them, you need to back off or pass. keep you distance from everyone on all sides. In general don't ride like 99% of TH-cam crotch rocket bikers.
I'm all for riding safely, but thank you for proving one can take that too far. There is nothing wrong with lane splitting where that's allowed and your minimum distance behind some car should be reasonable to react (2 seconds) and brake. Every motorcyclist should have trained their braking so they can accurately estimate those distances for their bike and their skill. And last but not least, in modern traffic its impossible to stay away from everyone, so you should scan for drivers driving dangerously to know who specifically to stay away from. Your attention is your guardian angel, ride accordingly
@@An0niem4 At 60mph, 2 seconds behind is about 6 car lengths. That's a good distance, it's also about 6x more than most TH-cam rocket bikers would give. At 65mph make it 8-10 car lengths, that's more than almost anyone I've ever seen, myself included. It is impossible to stay away from everyone, but the point is you should try. At least be aware of where everyone is at, what they are doing, and where the people you can't see might unexpectedly come from. And then keep far enough away that no matter what they do, you can react in time.

Good to see warrior content. Do you ever check out the rs warrior forum? A ton of knowledge on there about the warrior and a good group of people.

I have been street riding since 1969 without injury. I move like a car, predictably. I check my mirrors frequently.
