I have been researching motorcycle safety since my two get offs last year. It seems that the freeway, where both of mine happened, is a scary place. I came out pretty lucky, but the speeds, and proximity of cages, makes me wary of getting on the freeway again if and when I get a new ride. In so-cal, no one uses thier turn signals, and alot of people make crazy lane changes- the cause of my first wreck. Also, the freeway condition in so-cal is a joke. A large expansion joint that caused a tank-slapper was the cause of my second wreck. I just read an article where a guy said that avoiding the freeway is suggested in MSF courses. I wonder if this is true,and what folks thoughts are on that.
