Nice list. Most of it is true for everyone, not just motorcyclists. It seems like a mindset, not just some things to ensure are happening. I hope OP got that.

A transplant surgeon I know told me that the reason his field exists is because of motorcyclists.

my (unpopular & annoying) advice: don't ride a motorcycle

eventually, you'll not see it. and the accident will be catastrophic. it's just a question of time, sorry.

It's funny how the username almost never relates to the advice given. :D

The other main advice is to take a riding course before you get your license.

They go over a lot of this stuff. If you demonstrate your riding skill at the end of the course, you might not need to take a riding test at the DMV.

It is well worth the money.
