Or. Now hear me out on this one... don't drive like an idiot. There's plenty of time for visibility. I could understand if it was around a blind 120 or something.
If you're worried about someone fixating on them. Maybe we should remove road signs because they're a distraction for riders to...
Can't say I haven't done the same thing when I was younger. Small town. Dirt bike. No insurance. Just push it in a bush to hide and run or 2up with a friend. No one's gonna say who they sold it to, and the closest cop station is a 20 minute drive away with no regular patrol.
Kickstand pucks we're invented for a reason... Or just do what I do and use an empty soda can crushed.
Helps disperse the weight over a larger surface area so there's less chance of a puncture in the asphalt when it heats up on a hot summer day.
First day riding my new (to me. 11 years old) KLR 650. Went to gas up. Pulled a bit short of the pump so I moved the bike but forgot to reset the kickstand (it caught the ground when pushing forward (uphill slightly) so it wasnt straight out anymore.) started to tip... thankfully I caught it...
I was getting soaked at work anyways (powerwashing in the rain that day.) Said **** the rain gear (too much trouble.) With some (i think) kenda k270s on my klr grip was fantastic.
Slow down, hug the right lane for max visibility (if theres a vehicle waiting to turn left blocking the view of the vehicle in the opposite lane turning left being furthest right brings you into their view at the earliest.) Your life is worth far more than saving 5 minutes home.

insured with TDMM but they're being a ***** and taking forever processing my claim and appraising, etc. so i may be looking elsewhere come feb.
I got deemed not at fault for my accident (0% wooo!)
Other driver is the one that called the cops and reported it first. Then again, he probably thought he wouldn't be at fault (even after pulling out in front of me and telling both me and police officer that he did not see me.)
Or maybe he...
Damn GWS....
I alsdo won't be riding for awhile due to an accident (old guy pulled out infront of me) still waiting to find out if insurance is gonna total the bike or not.
Someone pulled out infont of me. If you know hamilton: King street east, west bound. Guy pulling left from eastbend south across 4 lanes to turn right onto eastbend north right infront of me (I was in far right curb lane and king street east at that point is a 4 lane 1 way.)
However, just got...
Don't forget suzuki likes to use a clutch switch for startup. Make sure the clutch is pulled in all the way (and make sure the connectors are still connected to it. If I remember right its the underside of the clutch.)

Traffic coming to a stop is easy to predict if you keep a look out. Same with someone cutting you off.
Honestly, I'd never suggest anyone ride in snow/slush. Rain is okay, but losing traction in snow is almost guaranteed with the slightest jerk. Only reason I was riding it in that day was...
