I'm an older and WISE rider for a reason. Those riders that like to poke fate with a sharp stick tend to get the result they deserve.
It is hard enough avoiding pot holes, substances on the road surface or worse obstacles. Much less dealing with the mental cases behind the wheel of machines hell bent on flattening those of us on two wheels to persist in giving Mr Murphy the finger every time you put your feet on the pegs with bad, or worse, bone headed actions on a bike. That tends to complicate the equation quite a bit. And we all know them, they are the guys (and gals) that believe that bad things only happen to other people and not them. Yeah, sure, you keep on enjoying that delusion. I bet you think "The Nile," is just some river in Africa, and what you are in.
Whispering: That's denial for those of you that don't understand the pun or tricky stuff like geography.
