almost got into an accident today when some lady in a giant SUV stopped at a stop sign, looked both ways, but for some reason, just did NOT see me though it was wide open road (no parked cars in the way or anything). she then continued to floor it... luckily, I just had a gut feeling this lady was out to get me so I started slowing down (i was already going pretty slow) before hand and was able to come to a stop before the intersection.
so, to my question at hand. outside of gas inefficiency, is riding @5500rpm all the time bad? I ask because i do notice that people will tend to "see" me more when they hear me. I generally ride @4000 but its pretty silent at that engine speed.
if only gas inefficiency is the real issue, then i think i'm gonna start riding my engine louder.
