I did not see it.&nbsp\\; I knew what this was going to be and since I didn't know what to look for I still missed it.

I was hit by a woman a few years ago from a stop sign after she looked right at me from 30ft away...and I was the only other vehicle on the road.&nbsp\\; She was very shaken by the incident when she realized that her inattentiveness could have killed someone, but she said never saw anything on the road.&nbsp\\; I had straight pipes and a full light bar and it didnt help.

I know that this is a common story, but short of a siren and circus lights I dont know what will ever make cagers open their minds.

I can't understand how people miss it.&nbsp\\; This is the first time where I actually have heard someone say they hadn't seen it.&nbsp\\; Scary!

Which is a pretty good indicator loud pipes don't save lives....just sayin

Done that before... cool to see a new person try it.&nbsp\\; Prob with cagers seeing bikers is their brains&nbsp\\;get trained to spot vehicles with a frontal or 2-dimensional area of around 30 sq. ft. or more.&nbsp\\; On a bike, we don't even come close to that threshold.&nbsp\\; I've too had them make direct eye contact and then pull right out or turn in front.&nbsp\\; Some cagers scan a side street for only 1/10th. second[
