Over the years I have handled a lot of cases involving motorcycle injuries. Sadly most occur when bikes and cars collide. Having done this work for more than 20 years, I've seen some patterns in how these wrecks occur. The overall takeaway is that cars just don't see motorcycles like they see other cars on the roadway. This happens in all sorts of situations, but specifically I see a lot of collisions in a few of the same situations again and again. I'm going to share some of these situations in the coming weeks in the hope that sharing these insights might help keep some riders safe.

Below is a diagram from a police collision report in a recent case. This collision occurred when a car pulled out of a parking lot onto the roadway, directly into the path of an approaching motorcycle. The bike was traveling at or below the speed limit, yet had no time or opportunity to avoid the collision.

This is one of the most common collision situations I see between bikes and cars. Obviously, when we are riding, we can't control what cars do, but we can anticipate that they will not see us. Make yourself visible and ride defensively as if you are invisible.

Since 1993, there have been three 650cc dual sport motorcycles from as many Japanese manufacturers, so plenty can be found on the secondhand market.

This is an absolutely incredible motorcycle journey about a ride through Siberia. Well worth the read. The photos are incredible as well. Best of all, the bike was an XR250!
