And they say, " He came out of nowhere' or " I never saw him coming."

Exactly! I actually stopped riding motorcycles after my son was born because even just commuting was too dangerous. Not even sport riding, but just cruising along I-35 to work, almost every day I had to get out of someone's way because they were not paying attention and "did not see me".I've ridden motorcycles all my life... I've alway just known that if you don't have two headlights & a bumper, drivers don't see (or look for you) because you're not a threat to their safety.
I have heard that one before, long ago .Another good tip for surviving on the road:
If your shadow is long in front of you, then the oncoming cage drivers can't see you because they are looking into the sun.
Indeed, but a super bright strobe in the front will still get you seen by oncoming traffic.Another good tip for surviving on the road:

well I know why its dangerous on your motorcycle....Exactly! I actually stopped riding motorcycles after my son was born because even just commuting was too dangerous.

I am sure riding a motorized bicycle would make me even less visible, so assuming you always cannot be seen seems like the best bet.
So if you are invisible riding a motorcycle, and even less visible riding a motorized bicycle, then does that mean that not only can you not be seen, but you also cloak things around you? Sounds like I might need some government grant money to fund some research on this! I should probably also test 2 stroke vs. 4 stroke, and displacement as well, so will need the funds for at least three more builds...
Here is one simple thing you can do to drastically change your visibility for under $20.
A fast blinking front strobe light for ALL riding day or night.
I am not talking about some $25 Bell light with a AA battery and a flashlight bulb either, you can't see them in daylight.
I am talking about a CREE LED powered by a rechargeable 3.7V 2.2A Lithium Ion battery.
No **** guys, I broadsided a van that 'didn't see me' and ever since I put one on I haven't even had a close call.
