A lot good advice on bike handling but it is equally important to avoid bad situations. Scan, always scan.
Think 2 or 3 moves ahead especially in heavy traffic.
It's not necessarily the car in front of you, it's the cars ahead of it.

Trail braking, a must on a big twin if you dont want to end up on the wrong side of the road. The ten second overview...when your putting on your jacket,helmet etc give your ride the going over , look at the chain, the nuts and bolts, your tyres,anything that can and will come loose. Keep your eyes on the car in front, not the pretty little thing on the sidewalk.

Look where you want the bike to go, not at what you are gonna hit.
Ride like you are invisible, because you are
If in a group, DO NOT EXCEED YOUR SKILL LEVEL, better to fall out than fall off, or take another with you
