He made a point that is often overlooked. I try to never maintain a constant relative bearing to a car or truck. I want to be moving around their horizontal axis. If I'm constantly at his three o'clock I start to be invisible. I also assume I'm invisible anywhere behind the 3:30 to 8:30 relative bearings. I always want to be moving within their sight lines so I don't get ignored. It also gives me an excuse to pass them. I love the pathetic horn his bike had. Why manufacturers put those on our bikes escapes me. A good loud horn (Stebel for me) and lots of lights.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
