You mean to tell me that you never: Removed your hand to turn your gas to reserve, Sipped up/down your jacket, adjusted your visor, waived at a fellow motorcyclist? All of which require MORE time to finish said action than it will for me to make myself heard for a second or two? Nah, I meant specifically in a situation when someone may hit you. The point I’m making is that you’re pulling in the clutch to alert someone who potentially may (for example) make a left turn in front of you. He may hear you and stop, or he may not and pull out while you’re not prepared to react fast enough because you just revved up the motor and disengaged the clutch. I do have lapses of attention when riding - like you said, waving and all that are a distraction, but when I see someone edging toward the road, last thing I want to do is not be ready to react by hitting the brakes or swerving around. Maybe if I had a bigger bike it would make some sense to rev now and again to wake some cagers up, but my little twofiddy just doesn’t generate that kind of noise. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/another-one-taken-down-by-a-fucking-retard/245034)._
