RE: Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'The Night Ride' (Part #210)

in #motorcycle6 years ago

Great post. Really glad about the magic of the jumper.
@velimir, i know you are experienced already at riding a motor bike even more than every steemian :) At night, there is a reason why @velimir hardly rides his bike on a non busy road. For those of us that look up to @velimir in trying to bike, Its also good that while riding at night, you all should be careful, Motorcycle lights in a sea of lights at night can get lost in someone's mirrors. Just like an experience i had few months ago with a biker, It was a near miss because his bike lights are close together and i mistook his two headlight motorcycle for a car, but much further away than he really was.
So @velimir i am in no place to give an advice to you on how to pimp your admirable bike, but when you finally go to see Bojan, just be careful on adding the lights because there are many inexperienced drivers out there like i was few months ago :)
On a busy freeway, your bike may get lost against the glare of other car's lights. You might even be mistaken for the right headlight of the car behind you in a quick glance in a mirror.
As during the daylight, i am not looking for motorcycles. Motorcycles don't present as a clear danger to my mortality, at least as much as a 18 wheel semi truck does :) People just aren't scared of motorcycles while encased in their cage. At night, i am really not looking for you and may just not see you at all and God help the biker that the vehicle driver is not drunk because at night is the time most drivers are drunk and if anything happens, less people are around to help if you have an accident (i dont wish that for any of us :)) or have a mechanical failure.
So guys lets be careful while riding. @velimir keep being safe. This is educating. Thanks.
