This is one of the best advice ever...
thinking about that sweet piece of *** you met at the bar last night, drunk, high, whatever...if you aren't in your ride 100% then you need to be. Motorcycles are dangerous kids, that's why you wear gear and pay attention

+1 to ear plugs and staying out of blind spots. Personally i would map out back roads and take them all the way there, highway riding is really boring. watch the weather, you dont want to get caught in the rain, rain at 70mph is like needles.

If you are coming up on a car in the passing lane, and noticed they are slowing down for the car, good chance they will want to pass. Try to be in a position in the lane where the driver can see you with his mirror and you won't be in his blind spot. This doesn't always work so be ready to move to the outside of the lane or brake hard if he does pull out. I always try to make it a point to be seen when I am about to pass a car on the road.

My Ist rule that I have lived by since a 17 year old learner on my 250 honda
- Everone else on the road is out to kill me :-)
I do like most like to push it when on the open road..
Excessive speeding is not safe in most circumstances but ...... ?
Whenever I have to use interstates or large multilane freeways, I have one rule of thumb that I always use .. ( Be seen be safe ) .. to this end I always try to keep moving slightly faster the the traffic..
I find that it is far safer to be the one calling the shots passing,than the one being used as target practice by passing truck busses and cars..
There is nothing worse that a large fast moving missile flying past and blowing you into the next lane ..
I always keep my eyes way up ahead and pick off my targets in my mind as I get to them ..
If you always take the offensive on a bike ... you will stay way more alert and not slip into a dream world quite so easilly ..
Although this idea sound nice ...
