With the bike out of commission for a while, I've been driving to work. This morning I was waiting at a stop light to make a left when I was hit lightly from behind. I sighed, got out of the car and walked back to the SUV behind me. A lady was behind the wheel, eyes downcast towards her lap...

Today on my drive (yes, drive) to work, there were at least three different crashes involving a motorcycle reported. All involved major delays, one was a fatality (the I680 crash reported in another thread). It seems like the frequency has been going up. Recent threads have indicated crashes...

In the course of discussion in the "how to brake" thread, louemc asked if it would be a good idea to talk about how riders sense or feel traction. We agreed that the topic warrants its own thread, so here it is. Riders are concerned with traction any time they are subjecting tires to a shear...
