- if you stop at sensor-based traffic light and the your road is empty, stop bit ahead of stop line but before yellow line, if unable, just stop at very left / right of the lane. there is many time that i see others vehicle was too afraid to come closer to stop behind you, that make the sensor not activated. so, you waiting for green light like stupid 10-15min there. some of the sensor here in Malaysia hardly to detect the presence of motorcycle. unless you're red-light runner then no comment haha.

- regardless type of bike you have, learning off-road / trail riding skills is worth it. because even you're doing defensive riding, sometimes shit happen.

- as a solo night rider, there is moment of "OMGWTF dude turn off your bloody AUX light blyat" when i meet others riders with all AUX light on, like a Christmas tree, rolling on the highway, as if they're riding alone off road. i also have 3 set of long-range spotligh and flood light all turned off and in standby, you want me to beam all to you back? i understand AUX light is important, if can't turn off, pointing it a bit down or just don't tailgate me, overtake.
personal preferences:

- when you're having fun weekend ride on the road, remember, there's people are working on the road. bus and lorry are rolling out there for a reason, overtake them with safe manner at right time is meaningful to them.
