You Are Invisible On A Road Full Of Retards

[Irish Wolf]

Assume everyone else on the road is an idiot and ride accordingly, the moment you don't an idiot will knock you off your bike, also load cans are a safety feature

Loud cans are less of a safety feature than they once were. I drive a nice new company car that's very quiet on the inside. With the music cranking when in traffic I can't hear anything outside. But it does help if you can be heard.

Best piece of advice I could give to any beginning rider.
What is the best advice you would give to a new rider?

As far as riding goes I tell people - In summer you get hot, In winter you get cold, when it rains you get wet and if you fall off you get hurt. Once you accept all that as part of the lifestyle the rest is pure FUN!!
I'm in my late 50's now and been riding for over 40 years and still enjoy riding.

Nope .. i and the exact opposite of invisible , I have Blue LED's on my helmet that can be seen for about 1/2 to a mile away And tend to ride near night time ..

check your local laws , MOST places around the world have NO defied rules that will prevent you from having LEDs on your helmet (as long as they dont blink)

also in most places a helmet is NOT considered as part of your vehicle or bike but as a required safety accessory... I chose BLUE because everyone eyes is especially tuned to see blue when driving due to the po po and so on ...

yeah i had cops pull me over and give me the Stiff end , but had to point out to them that there is NO law against it.. also i have had encounters with state highway patrol Sargent that gave kudos for the idea ...

In short .. Light up your Self .. looks COOL and keeps you safe ^_^
Check out my helmet setup video and contact me if you need ANY help

Don't start motovlogging until you are comfortable riding. Talking to the camera while riding requires you to split your attention a bit. Even now, if I'm in a difficult situation, I'd stop talking until I'm in the clear.

I have the same issue , I am by nature not the most coordinated person and i am comfortable on my bikes , but when something stupid happens on the road My motovlogg freezes ... lots and lots edit required sometimes LOL
