Close Calls Riding a Motorcycle

While this video has a much more important educational meaning for the beginners, we can't stress enough the importance of being aware at all times when riding a motorcycle. And thanks to the good-quality cameras easy to mount in the bike or helmet, more people can experience the real deal almost first-hand.
So the present video shows just how bad things can go in just seconds, and how easy a simple, casual ride can turn into a bike crash with unfortunate results. At the same time, it seems to uphold the “rider as if you were invisible” advice many experienced riders usually give to the fresh ones.

Again, far from being a war between the 2-wheeled vehicles and the rest of the ones present on the road, we can't help seeing more and more distracted riders and car drivers on the world's roads. And the very big difference is that a bike rider has no metal panels and bars around him shielding his body from impacts. It's somewhat funny to also see that bike riders make more careful car drivers than guys who've never ridden a motorcycle.

Ride safe and keep your eyes open: motorbikes are fun, but “I didn't see him coming” is not a funny phrase.
