but some days I find it just as bad out in the boonies where I live. The electrical lines actually stop at my house on the road I live on. My nearest neighbor are .5-2 miles away with nothing but trees in between. Spring and fall I have to worry about tractors, children, old farmers, the people who work in the city but live in the boonies (like me) and want to get home as fast as possible. The small highway and the road I live on have blind curves and blind hills; people are flying around those curves (usually on my side of the road) and I have to take action. Once while on my baby beemer, I had to hit the ditch around a blind curve because I met two cars racing side by side coming straight at me. Dumped the bike in the ditch-too slick with wet clay and drop-off but just a couple of scratches on the bike, my helmet and jacket. Of course the a$$hats didn't even stop.If I had to go through that I won't ride. We have all rode in those areas that make or sphincter clinch but to do it day in and out. Not me.
Point is-no matter where you live, there are crazy, stupid cagers and while on the bike, you have to be cognizant of all your surroundings. I am not going to stop riding because of their stupidity.
