Flavor, at least you caught the tree, right? That just makes it a bad dream. ;)

The wife and I took a 65 mile ride for a great seafood lunch today. On our way home some idiot cager on the inside lane changed to my lane about 30 feet in front of me and jammed his brake pedal to make a right turn into a drug store parking lot. No turn signal and certainly no respect for my right of way. It's so easy to understand why so many people fall victim to road rage.

Speaking of dangerous situations the re-occurring dream I have, luckily haven't had it in yrs, is the situation where..........you're riding in the mountains...........no shoulder on the right side............road goes into a blind right curve...........sand and gravel washed on to the road............. and as you come around the turn your buddy has wiped out in front of you............you have no where to go except to avoid him and go into oncoming traffic........you avoid the oncoming car but lay the bike down........sliding across the lane,,,,,,hitting the wall after you slide through the opposite shoulder......flipping over the wall after your bike hits it and catapults you over...........the drop is over 1000 ft and you grab a tree branch and are hanging on for dear life.

Dream ends...............

Be careful out there............Always anticipate............

Please keep my nightmares to yourself... ;)

Your being from VT means that you encounter that blind right curve a lot...... ;)

In the last few months, I've had a few idiots wait at a stop sign until I'm nearly on top of them before they pull out in front of me. No one in sight behind me. Most of these are talking on their cell phone.

Same here. Normally, I ride with brights on in daylight and spots on all the time.

I've ridden in front of Tom. Ray Charles could see him coming.

Does he have curb feelers on his fenders?
