I hate cows, they always jump out of no where. LOL! It was a joke, but people do hit cows and horses around here in the south...

I had to ride on a road like that recently. No more will I ever do that. I was following my mom and she didn't know that motorcycles can't grip unpaved road well. My back wheel was sliding all over the place. I had to take it real slow in those curves.

OMFG. I accidentally found myself stuck on a LOOOOONG path of that with no intersections to turn off of one day. Worst part was it was like my 4th day EVER riding a bike. To this day that stuff still scares the **** out of me. That and bridges with the steel grate floors that make your bike just wander all over the place.

Related: I HATE that oil\tar crap they lay on the road when resurfacing. Not because it's slippery, but because it takes liek 4 BOTTLES of Bug and Tar Remover to get the crap OFF MY BIKE!

I had a June Bug get me square in the face shield at around 70mph. I seriously thought somebody had shot me in the helmet, as the resulting THOK and echo in the helmet had both my ears ringing. The thing just exploded, and all rubbing it with my rag did was smear it around. I had to ride on the highway with the visor up until I could find a rest stop with some cleaning fluids.

In case you don't know what one is, or call it something else out by you: They're these HARD beatles that love flying near moving vehicles, and get to be over an inch long in places:
