"Ride like you're invisible" is the proper approach, but not always possible....that's why you always make sure you have a ESCAPE PLAN.
My head is always on a swivel. At a redlight..thru an intersection...even on the open road checking the sides of the road etc.
These riders that put both feet down at a redlight...the ones that are sitting there with arms crossed and out of gear.

I see them giving a cage a chance.

Yeah it seems like to much data input to enjoy the road but i feel better about riding when I am in full awareness of my surroundings.

Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,
But rather to skid in side ways, totally worn out shouting HOLYSHI$T What A RIDE!!
