I worked as an EMT for 4 years. I've seen some of the worst.

Some people get on a bike and think they're invincible. Until that car up ahead doesn't see them and switches lanes right into the bike.

"I did witness the driver of the Pickup exit the vehicle say 'I did
not see the motorcyclist'."

Ronnie anyone that rides like that deserves what they get. See and be seen is my motto and I ride virtually every day. I been on the bike for almost a month now.
Thats good advice Scott. 1) Make sure they see you.
2) Get the big picture.
3)Aim high in your steering
4) Keep your eyes moving
5) Leave youself an out.

Follow these 5 rules and you'll avoid 99.9% of all accidents.

a buddy of mine used to ride like that, and then decided to get into racing because he knew it would get him killed on the public roads.

almost got killed racing the things, so now he races regular old bicycles, Lance Armstrong style

Need for speed. Tough addiction to break.
