A truck’s increased size means bigger blind spots, so it  is crucial to be aware of where these blind spots are. Sections of the lanes on either side of a truck, particularly on the right side, are not visible to the truck driver and therefore extremely dangerous for other cars to drive through. If you must drive through these areas to pass a truck, use caution and pass as quickly as safety allows. Signal early and let the driver see you before you pass. If you can’t see the driver in their side mirror, it is likely that they can't see you either. Not being able to see the side mirrors indicates you are in a blind spot and should move out of that position as soon it is safe to do so. When driving behind a truck, you can’t see what is happening up ahead and must rely on the signals of truck driver in front of you. Stay observant and keep a close eye on the truck’s turn signals and brake lights so you can be prepared for them to stop or turn with some advance notice. Having a patient mindset can be just as crucial as staying aware of blind spots. Remember that trucks cannot maneuver as easily as smaller cars, which is particularly important in emergencies. Be cautious and respectful when driving around a truck to help keep yourself and everyone around you safe. Avoid honking (unless in an emergency situation), aggressive driving, and weaving through traffic, as these cause distraction and could ultimately result in a crash.

One-sentence summary -- Keep away from the sides of the truck. Make sure you can see the truck's side mirrors. Watch for signals. Be patient with slow-moving trucks.


This article will use the tank as an example, but the same basic method should be applied to all bike pieces. The tank is a great place to start if you’re new to painting motorcycles because it’s fairly easy to remove and has broad, flat surfaces that are easy to work with.   Check which size allen wrench you need to remove the bolts holding the tank in place. Remove all the bolts holding it in place and lift the tank off the frame. Set it aside. Store the bolts in a plastic baggie clearly marked as “tank bolts.” This part will take some time and elbow grease, but it’s an important step. If the surface you’re painting isn’t perfectly smooth, you’ll end up with an ugly, uneven coat of paint on your bike, and nobody wants that.  Purchase sandpaper at any home improvement or hardware store, like Home Depot or Lowe’s. Rub the metal surface down with sandpaper in a circular motion until you have removed the old paint. You should be down to bare metal by the end of the process. Switch back and forth between arms to prevent fatigue and soreness. Take a break if you need one. You don’t have to finish this project in one sitting. Remove any residual dust or particles that might be on the surface. You want to be working with a clean canvas. This will help ensure you’re working with as smooth and level a surface as possible. You can purchase body filler at any automotive retailer, from O’Reilly’s to Auto Zone, and also in many home improvement stores.   Mix the filler up well to make sure it’s loose and not clumpy when applied. It hardens quickly, so repeat the process in small batches as often as necessary.  Apply it in a layer about 1/8” thick. You want to wait about an hour to make sure the surface has dried completely and ready for a second sanding.   If you’re not satisfied that the surface is perfectly smooth and ready to be painted, apply another layer of body filler and sand it down again. When you’re satisfied with the smoothness of the surface, move on to the next phase: painting your bike.

Convection oven models are different and these steps may differ from the model that you own. Look for the owners or instruction manual that you got with your convection oven. If you don't have it, use a search engine to see if you can find an online version of the manual. Set your oven to the convection setting by pressing the button or turning a dial to convection. Some appliances will also have a convection bake or roast setting. Use the setting that applies to the food you plan on cooking.  If you're making cookies, cakes, or pies, you should set the oven to convection bake. If you're cooking a pot roast or turkey, you should set the oven to convection roast. Since convection ovens cook your food more evenly than a traditional oven, you should reduce the temperature. Look at the recipe that you’re cooking and reduce the temperature to 25°F (14°C) less than what the recipe calls for. Input your cooking temperature into the keypad or turn the dial to the appropriate temperature. Some appliances will automatically adjust the temperature for convection cooking. Refer to the user's manual to see if your oven automatically adjusts the temperature. Some ovens will automatically raise the temperature as you increase it and others require you to hit the "Start" button. After hitting the "Start" button, the oven should begin to rise in temperature. Your oven should beep or an indicator light should come on when it’s reached the desired temperature. Your convection should now be preheated.
