And that says it all! Thats why I disregard all of the staggered fromation junk they teach you at the MSF. Ride as far away from the hazzards as you can. They might not be able to see you in their mirrors, but you should count on that anyway......

Depends on conditions, always changing. But most of the time I like left of center.

I ride where I am the most noticable to the most people. Keeping my eyes open for the ones not paying attention.

Just reading this again has got me noticing where I ride. I must be getting squidly. I do not trust any cager, they do not see me or hear me unless I make them. Town riding finds me lane splitting and highway riding finds me getting into my "bubble". At robots, I am waiting 1 or 2 seconds just to make sure nobody is doing anything stupid and I will often politely "toot" my horn just to let some one know I am coming. I ride a lot of three lane and could be anywhere depending on the idiots in front or behind. The one that really gets me is the two cages that insist on driving the same speed, usually slower than everyone else, in two different lanes and are oblivious to everything around them. Car or bike here you dare not leave space between you and the guy in front or someone will surely dive in. I always have to have an escape route.

I ride in the same lane as everybody else going the same direction as I am. :)
