Steve-o sounds like we're taking a bit of stick, eh Mate...............?

Getting old is obligatory
Growing up is a matter of choice.......................

Old age and deviousness will always be a winner
over youth and exuberance.........................

BUGGEREM !!!

One fingered salute in the US, two fingered in other countries.

Seriously

I mostly find it's mostly senior drivers that pose the biggest hazard.
They just don't see you ever.

As for the just plain dumb bastards......you have to make them a permanent
part of your overall defensive riding plan.

Anything else ain't really worth it. We are at a weight and protection
disadvantage. No hand to hand combat ! (Unless they bitch slap ya first)

Just stay alive by making the right choices for the conditions of the moment

Ordinary two-lane roads in America have a slight "crown" effect; they're a tad higher in the center to make them shed water better. Turning to the right in the right lane, you have a slight positive bank; to the left, there's a slight reverse bank. The banking gives you a little added traction in right turns. My $.02.
