While I'm not denying that lots of cagers will look (and drive) straight 
through a motorcycle, there is, as the referenced posting indicated, a lot 
you can do to make yourself more visible. In Canada Safety Council-speak 
(I'm sure MSF is the same) it's called conspicuity.

It isn't just a matter of wearing bright colored stuff and painting your 
bike to look like a CHiP. Lane positioning, spacing in traffic and 
anticipation can all save your life. And, as advocated by BMW Owners, you 
should always be looking for an escape route.

If in doubt, take a MSF/CSC course.

Question of the day: there's a famous model name in Triumph's past that 
they haven't yet revived in the Hinckley era. Anyone want to tell me what 
it is? No prize, except list kudos.

Hint: there's a clue in this post...
