    Default Interesting expreiance tonight

    Was driving down the main four lane street in town (two on each side with a center island) when I noticed the upcoming headlights in the curve was strange. So I moved from the inside lane to the outside lane. Turned out the cage was driving the wrong direction, so I pulled over to the curb and flashed my high-beams. The driver then used the left turn opening to pull to the right side. Fortunately the car behind me was in the outside lane too, and no body got hit. All I know if I did not go with my gut feelings and move over I would not be in such a good condition right now. Be careful everyone.

    Great example of alert ryding. We (non-cagers) MUST look out for ourselves by always being aware of our surroundings. Thanks for this post and being a heads up Ryder.

    Maybe he had a strong attraction to that brand new Viper red RT of yours Bob.

    Yeah well, I was in America a few years ago and I noticed that everyone was driving on the wrong side of the road!

    I knew I should have held out for the Orbit Blue.

    After I first got my Spyder I realized how different I drove my car compared to riding my Spyder. I figured it must be the fact that I am enclosed in the cage that makes me feel safer than when on the bike. One of the best benefits (safety wise) of buying the Spyder is I pay more attention to my surroundings even while in my car.
