Passing farm machinery
Greetings,
I have a policy that I always follow when on rural roads that could have saved one man's life last week in Pocatello. I NEVER pass farm machinery on my motorcycle, or in a car for that matter, if there is anyplace ahead that the tractor or swather or combine can turn into because many times those guys don't look and they will turn right into you. A 60 year old biker was killed last week when a swather turned in front of him and he ran right into the side of it at 50mph. Look ahead for lanes, driveways or field entrances and don't ever pass one if he is approaching a turn off. Always be patient and you will live to ride again tomorrow. Idaho
