What did your bike teach you recently?

Guess its not really bike related per se but, recently I was reminded of the importance of situational awareness, especially when on a bike. As I waited for the 18 wheeler infront of me to finish maneuvering into its own parking spot, I noticed that even though it was moving forward as it was turning, its rear wheels were actually moving backwards diminishing the space between it and its parking spot.

Glad I learned yet another reason why not to get too close to an 18 wheeler, especially if its not stationery and its engine is not off.
 
I learned Sunday that even the 1150GS does not have infinite cornering clearance as the Jesse Bag dug into the pavement. Good ride none the less.

I really don’t think the 1150GS is that heavy. It is getting more and more seat time than my beloved Tiger 800XC. It feels balanced.
