FWIW, not once, but twice in the past six weeks I've had someone nearly collide with me while I was driving the Cobra. In both situations I was turning left into a parking lot (Home Depot, then Staples / Costco) across two driving lanes, while the miscreants were both exiting the parking lot and attempting to turn left into the same path I would have been on, had I continued straight. In both cases I had my turn signal on (and yes, I checked to ensure they work) and both times it appeared they were looking over and behind me. It was as if their motoring paradigm was 1/2 ton trucks and SUVs which, by the way, we have a lot of around here. Notwithstanding the fact my Cobra is a pretty bright red with a hint of orange, it would seem to be nearly invisible - at least at that height. Almost reminds of the two summers I rode a murdercycle...

Maybe I should jack the Cobra up and put it on 32" off road tires. Anyone know where I can get a lift kit?
