But they are STYLISH!Tobacco Motorwear is particularly comical because their jeans don't even have armor pockets.
Sometimes the choice may be between: 1) make the legal turn in a limited sight area -or- 2) not make that turn and take a different route to your destination.. . . Do you folks keep road conditions and getting hit from behind in mind when riding? Will you go out of your way to avoid the possibility of getting run over from behind? Especially when attempting to turn left, with oncoming traffic?

Don't recall every intentionally passing a turn while in a car, but I've intentionally driven past turns while on the bike if I felt it was unsafe to make that turn.The other part of the issue though is, even when driving your car, do you consider going farther on your route to avoid a bad place to turn?
Especially with poor road conditions, if oncoming traffic forces you to stop traffic behind you so you can turn left, do you consider an alternative?
And on Monday night you need to give us your impressions of the Honda DCT transmission.I’ll be back on 2 wheels again next week. Signed the paperwork on this earlier today and I’ll be taking delivery Monday. And yes, I’ll be wearing at least a proper lid, boots and gloves, maybe jacket and pants if I can score some before then. This should make the daily commute a bit more invigorating.
Congrats CB! Nice looking bike.I’ll be back on 2 wheels again next week. Signed the paperwork on this earlier today and I’ll be taking delivery Monday.

I have passed dangerous left into traffic turns on the bike and car. On the bike I also use hand signals without fail.Don't recall every intentionally passing a turn while in a car, but I've intentionally driven past turns while on the bike if I felt it was unsafe to make that turn.
Turning onto my road, which is at the base of a steep hill, I flick on the turn signals early so any cars behind me have ample notice that I'm going to be making a left at the blind intersection that they may not even know exists right over the next hill.
Sometimes its as simple as riding fast and not realizing the upcoming place I wanted to turn was so close, so I simply didn't feel it prudent to stand on the bike's brakes to make the turn (typically in unfamiliar areas while traveling). Sometimes because the weather & road conditions seemed to make it an unreasonable place to turn.
Does that win you any friends? Just asking?They missed one, my personal favorite hand signal, the one for "Thanks for trying to kill me, a-hole"
