"No matter how many times you ride or how good a rider you are, you're going to get into problems," said Jack Gill, a Hollywood stunt coordinator and a man who has learned the hard way. Mr. Gill has been in the business for 10 years performing and coordinating stunts in TV series and mo chase material for an upcoming stunt. "As I rounded a curve in the road, a car was stopped dead center blocking both lanes of traffic. With no place to go on the right and a 60 foot drop off on the left, I had to lay the bike down," he said. "Picking myself up (it was obvious his professional experience saved his life) I approached the driver of the car and asked why he had stopped in the middle of the road.

Wear it!" A helmet may also make it easier for a cyclist to be seen another safety precaution. "Motorcycles are difficult to see and you should constantly look for people who may dart in front of you," Mr. Gill stressed. "Also remember the blind spots when approaching vehicles and stay out of those areas. People can stop suddenly and you're into the back of them." He explained how easily this situation can happen.
