Personally i think these things are a wank
I have been to em in four different States of Australia and their all the same.
Motorcycle Safety Awareness to me is a Wank.
Don't believe me??????????
Then tell me this. How many times have you seen a car overtake when theirs oncoming traffic????
How many times have you seen a car change lanes and nearly hit another car????
How many times have you seen cars doing U-turns in front of traffic??????
How many times have you seen cars/drivers just screwing up?????
And cars, trucks and buses are a bit easier to see than a bike??????
All car drivers know what a Motorcycle is, and even with a headlight on they still can't see em, so its quite obvious that Motorcycle Awareness is just a Wank.
Ahhh but what about Motorcycle Awareness for riders???????
Well if you don't think that's a Wank you just haven't been riding long enough, because motorcycle riders do the same stupid thing that car drivers do.
Yeah wear a helmet? wear protective clothing, wear bord shorts, thongs and a singlet with the girl on the back in shorts and top, wear full leathers so when you crash the body stays intact.
For me all I understand is that Motorcycle Safety relies on the rider doing what they think is right irrelevant to what the experts say, with the understanding that both the bike they ride and everything in the environment is trying to kill em.
But then I'm not an expert, and I get bugger all funding to tell everybody whats right and whats wrong, so my opinion to most is most likely a Wank and I have lived with that most of my life.
And don't get me started on safe riding techniques
Yeah place one foot on the ground when stopped and the other on the foot brake.
