Know where you are.

I was reviewing my trip over the weekend on the Dragon and something kind of stood out that I think is useful advice for safety. One of things that I noticed on the Dragon was the bikes (there were a few) that ran the curve while running near the center line.

Here is the problem, if the curve is going to the left and you lean left while hugging the center line, then you place about half of your bike into oncoming traffic. So cagers and trucks will have a real good chance of clipping you.

Something to think about, be aware of where your body is in relation to the rest of the traffic.
