But seriously this technique is great, and he brings up a lot of good points. I'm always looking for more ways to get riders to pay more attention to me, even if it includes throttling loudly. My exhaust has saved me plenty of times around the city, when people hear me behind them I watch the driver immediately check all their mirrors to see where I am. Ears > eyes.

Thanks for the bump!



Edit: Ears > Eyes a lot of the time. When I effectively see every driver / passenger turn their heads to scan for me when I'm far down the road it's a good sign that I'm making my presence noticeable. I'm happy to say that even though I've only been riding for a few months, I live in a crowded city, AC / windows up weather and I have yet to be cut off or have someone jump into my lane with out seeing me once. I'm sure it's not just because I'm practicing safe riding, but because I'm making myself more aware on the road for others.
