Hmmmm. No disrespect meant. I assume everyone that has a bike license knows what thier doing. I have to rethink, when I make my approach. Glad I read this one.

One little additional tid bit about passing while on a motorcycle. If you are in a group of motorcycles, pass the vehicle and make sure that you allow plenty of room for other motorcycles to clear the passed vehicle also. Don't leave your riding companions hanging out in the same lane as oncoming traffic.

That explains a lot about the kids riding 180hp crotch rockets around here.

If this isn't a joke, I strongly recommend you stick to 4 wheels.

If you are driving anything and asking what the advantage us to downshifting, I have to ask how do you know when to upshift??

Poster may not be joking if he/she is really young. Being in my 60's I grew up on manual tranny's. My first 3 or 4 trucks were all manual.
I am sure you can find many 30 year old folks that have never driven a manual transmission nor would they understand anything about what either type of transmission does anyway.
