- It's a complex problem.
-
- People in autos hardly notice motorcycles, in fact they can barely see
- small sports cars.
-
- CJ bought a Seca II, which doesn't make enough noise. You really need a
- Harley to cut through the six speaker sound system in an air conditioned
- car.

- There are still lots of VW bugs in California. A motorcycle can hide in
- the blind spots, there is one on either side.
-
- It is, unfortunately, all too easy to be invisible when riding a motorcycle
- in dense traffic.
