I have to say that although when people drive thier attention definitely drifts, this is why its less than safe on the road for us. I would hope that anyone on the road is paying attention all the time so that they don't squish us like bugs.michelle_7728 wrote:Welcome to Modern Buddy!
you're not in a car where your attention can drift.
They're paid. Mostly. Sort of.Cheshire wrote:Don't forget to look at the ad banners at the top and bottom of the page here. They aren't random ads, if I remember correctly (eric?) they're paid slots. Even if they're not, they're very scooter-specific.
Very good point. When we are in cars we SHOULDN'T let our attention drift, but I think most of us do, even when we're not listening on the radio or talking to a passenger. However, when we take the motorcycle safety course (and hopefully most of us do...), it is emphasized that you can't be thinking about that cup of coffee, or a meeting later that day--you have to be focusing on the ride. That's really all I meant.jasondavis48108 wrote:I have to say that although when people drive thier attention definitely drifts, this is why its less than safe on the road for us.

...and the "hopefully most of us do" comment was NOT being directed at you, just a nod to the fact that some of us don't take that valuable course! 
I've used the corrazo coffee jacket with my buddy. Each time, the lid falls off whenever I hit a crater, I mean, pothole. I believe it is because the coffee holder hits right at the pocket whereas it has swing room on a vespa.Perkussion wrote:www.scootmoto.com has coffee holders.
Oh, i didn't figure you meant any harm by your comment, just figured I'd point out that all the good stuff we learn in our msf course about staying focused applies to whatever we're riding/driving. I found that I actually became a better car driver after I took the course. I kind of wish that folks had to re-certify thier drivers lisence every so often just so they wouldn't become so complacent with thier driving ability. I think they forget that thier car is quite capable of killing someone if they arn't constantly aware of what they are doing behind the wheel. It would also be a good time to remind drivers that motorcycles, scooters, mopeds and bicycles also have a legal right to be in the road without getting run over.michelle_7728 wrote:Very good point.
