Well this seems to be about as much fun as watching paint dry!
But, bear with me! This is important. Road survival will never be as good as doin' a stand up wheelie, but stayin' alive is rather important because without it we wouldn't be here! Get ya motorbike gloves ready because...
You've just rolled out of bed twenty minutes late, swallowed a bowl full of marshmallow fruit loops, thrown down a long black thick enough to stick to the back wheel and pulled on your gloves as you hit the morning rush hour chaos. As the caffeine hits your fuzzy mind, you think..."right, watch out for school kids!" Frazzled parents with road rage are causing havoc. They look at you with jealous conceit and swear obscenities at you because you're on a bike and you don't do queues!
You've got experienced hands inside those motorcycle gloves, so now, it's time for some serious filtering. Now that your morning cup o' tar has hit ya, you're watching the traffic like a hawk because filtering can be dangerous when the car next to you moves only a couple of feet to have you off! Don't watch the car itself...watch the driver's head through his rear window...that'll move before the car does...and watch his front wheels too...because they'll move before anything else!
Guide your motorbike gloves around parked cars with drivers in them...Sure as eggs, they'll get out just as you pass, so, give them a door's width. Buses are classic for pulling out in front of you because they reckon they have to get the kids to school on time! And hang back a bit at gas stations and the 24 hour bar. Someone is sure to pull into or out of them without even looking at you.
And remember, keep your motorcycle gloved finger on the trigger of your front brake. It can save valuable seconds when you need to throw out the anchors! Enjoy yourself with leather on hand as everybody else around you gets frustrated!
