Only the rider who's been bitten by that part, normally. Little projections stick out all over most bikes. Many times, these darts can be covered up with duct tape, filed smoother or even slightly modified. Often, a potentially dangerous piece on a bike can be partially relocated, or adjusted out of the way. A rear brake arm that's tucked in is less likely to snag a rider than one that's dangling in the breeze.
Sharp edges abound.
Chain guides with square edges, square edged fender brackets, protruding tabs, angu-lar exhaust pipes, sharp edged heat shields and a thousand other items are all waiting to snare the downed biker. What we're attempting to do here, is give you a nudge in the right direction. Obviously, there are so many different models and makes around, that they couldn't be covered completely if we used the whole site. But, the things we show here should give you ideas on where to look on your own personal machine. There are darts all over.
