You've got mirrors on a motorbike though, right? On a bike, unless you're an SPD sandal-wearing tourer with bar-end mirrors etc, you're relying on shoulder-checks to see what's going on.
Edit: Also, on a motorbike you're less likely to have faster traffic speeding past you with a gap of a few centimetres.
