I always ride with the mindset that I am invisible and the drivers cannot see me.
This mindset has saved my bacon numerous times.
Even when you “make eye contact “ with the driver, they still may not “see” you.
Most people are programmed to see a car, a truck, a bus.
They do not see a motorcycle or a bicycle.

In reply to David.

Aww David…I appreciate your concern for my safety. I choose to ride in the rain. I’ve been riding in the rain for decades. I live and ride in the PNW, and I haven’t had an issue yet (knock on wood). I actually like riding in the rain. It’s very cathartic and enhances my skills, confidence and mental outlook. Yes, there are the occasional obstacles, but that’s part of the challenge. I just pay attention. Decent cars are stupid expensive. Bikes are too, but I prefer two wheels, I actually feel safer on two, even in the rain, than I do in a car. Thanks, but no thanks.

Fellow motorcyclists, no matter how much experience and years on the road you have, take a MSF Course or Rider Safety Course of some kind in your area! We’re never too old to learn something new that might save your life or the lives of others. And whatever you do, don’t ride impaired!!

Seeing heavy rain when motorcycles are also driving is just not good. All the Petro chemicals, mixed with lots of same and heavy rain is just not a good idea. Find a decent car of any kind to keep one safer.

When you ride a motorcycle you should never assume that other driver sees you,the day that you assume is the day that you die.
