Ride With a GREAT Attitude!
This is one of the best ways to enjoy riding more and to effect a change in the general public’s sometime dim view of motorcycling. A bad attitude will be reflected in your riding and a preoccupation with whatever made you grumpy will only distract you from the job at hand: safely riding your motorcycle.
On anything other than wide open country roads, you have a choice while riding: ride with the flow of traffic, or fight it. There are often times when traffic is not moving at a speed you would choose. When this happens, poor riders zig-zag through the slower traffic, tailgating, cutting people off, and generally irritating everyone on the road, reinforcing the perception that all motorcyclists are daredevil speed demons with no respect for mom, apple pie, or the law.
Option two is you can try to be a courteous rider, demonstrating what a responsible person you are, "Look ma, I’m all growed up now." It is my opinion that nothing harms the image of motorcycling more than a rider aggressively weaving through traffic on a motorcycle. It may impress 14-year-old boys being shuttled to little league, but they don’t vote or call their elected representatives, although their parents sometimes do.
When you ride, you are an ambassador of motorcycling to the general public and it is your responsibility to ride accordingly.
