I agree as women and as ...Thanks for the reminder. I agree as women and as motorcyclists we need to be hyper aware of our surroundings.<br /><br />When in the car I always check the back seat before getting in, don't park beside a van, etc. <br /><br />Lock all doors of the house when home whether alone or we are both there.<br /><br />And on the motorcycle don't pull up too close to the car in front of you, always leave an escape route so when the guy behind you doesn't slow you can sneak to the side and lane split if necessary. I also always leave my bike in first gear when stopped in traffic or at a light. Sure the clutch hand can get sore at a long stop but I am prepared for flight if necessary.<br /><br />So many things to be aware of. Good thing we women are good at multitasking.<br /><br />Thanks again for the reminder.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
