1. Dressed head to foot in clothing the same color as blacktop. AKA "camouflage."

2. Letting both feet dangle when starting or stopping. If the bike falls over at 3 mph while coming to a stop, do they seriously think they'll be able to hold it up??

3. Incapable of making a 24' u-turn between the fog lines on a two lane road without duck-walking the bike.

4. Stopping at a red light 5' from the back of the vehicle in front, and centered in the lane.

Blipping the throttle at every stoplight and when starting the bike.
Thinking loud pipes saves lives.
Riding side by side in the road.

In May I rode side-by-side for 3,000 miles in ten days. It's actually very, very, easy. But not in the twisties.

I am amazed how much of this I see even at highway speeds in my area.

To include my own wife on her trike until I pointed it out to here several times.
