Now what I really notice is the way I drive at 43 is way different than the way I drove in my 20's.


In my 20's, and riding a raced out rice rocket, it seemed that I would have a close call to a serious accident once a week. Speeding, splitting traffic at high speeds, Cars turning left in front of me, cars moving into my lane, etc.


And now being 43 i don't do the dumb shit I did in my 20's. But now that I ride a very loud Harley, Im heard and felt by all of the cars around me. Cars split 20+ cars ahead of me before I reach them, because I am heard.


Also since riding a Harley, I have had Zero close calls in the last 5 years. Knock on wood!


Loud Bike, not being young, dumb and never going more than 10 miles over the sped limit has beed the safety difference maker from my experience.
