I’ve just skimmed this thread a bit and saw that some one mentioned it only takes one cage… and that is the 100% truth. My dad was out riding, doing nothing wrong and got hit on the side by a cage who ran a light. Things happen, be prepared instead of overconfident.
I saw some squid a day or two ago rip up a hill around 45-50, the hill being a 30mph. Blind corners everywhere. Caught up to him because he got caught behind a truck. He had a jacket on, but was wearing shorts. Makes no sense to me… then he blew by the truck on a double solid line after tailgating the guy for half a mile.
No wonder sport bike riders have a bad name…
