I hate trees that jump out & damage the bike. I also detest the radar cameras & the reduction of the speed limit in the hills. I can now ride my pushie faster that the limit. I also hate people on mobile phones.
I think a bex & the blue couch is in order.

Helmet hair! And no place to keep a comb (at least not a place clean enough for something I'm gonna put through my hair)

My neck warmer tubey gizmo is the perfect hair flattener. Doesnt do a perfect job like a comb could but it flattens out any spikes and such. Just a case of taking it off the neck and shoving it on like a ghetto hat.

You shamed him somehow. Maybe he had ____ envy. You fill in the blank.

Bugs of course. Those little white signs with black numbers indicating how fast you should go, especially on long straights where no one else is within sight but you know a cop may be sitting at that bush you see about a mile up the road.
Also Military Police that are **** about everything and pull you over because you have a fender eliminator and they don't think it looks right. Lastly, base regulations on riding.

I hate the bugs. Smelling like fumes. Rednecks on 4wheelers trying to race me.... Ya I live in Alabama so that is a problem I have had. They even got on the road. Drivers get on my nerves that do this, no matter what I drive, they will wait till you get right up on them and pull out in front of you or cross the road. It has been really bad since I got the bike, can't dismiss as just they didn't see me.

I'm surprised you are getting harassed at Camp Pen. Usually PMO there is cool. Miramar on the other hand is a different beast. I HATE PMO ON MIRAMAR!!!
