Reply #32: I'm glad I live, and bike, out in the country

[MadHound]

Any decent size city is a nightmare to ride a motorcycle in, too many idiots on the road who either can't or won't see you.

I live in the country and take the backroads in to the little town for school. About the worst I have to deal with in the way of traffic are deer, who for some reason don't seem to see me any better than a lot of motorists, they just stand in the road, watching me approach. I've gotten so close a few times I could have swatted them on their rear.
