 Any decent motorcycle rider would not tailgate.  but there is also a problem with
cars tailgating motorcycles.  (another story).
Actually the worst is when you are trying to change lanes and speed up to move
over.  The car in front of you decides to apply brakes for no other reason that to
keep you from tailgating.  My thoughts are, keep an eye on the mirrors and be aware
of your surroundings.  I do this whether I drive my pickup or my GoldWing.
