DH LOVES biking.... and did not have a problem with drivers, nor the roads on this side... the wet road was dew wet on the other side (that 'black ice' type thing with dry oily roads & a wee bit of wet...)
The only reason WHY he gave the bike up was me, and the fact he had his one ACL repair...
That said, that motorcycle was in a horrible incident, covered on this forum, thanks to a distracted driver due to the political sign waiving... Our friend was traveling, at speed, on HWY11 when a driver, that had pulled over to talk story with the waivers, pulled right into the bike.... luckily our friend had full safety gear on, but even with that, some pretty rough injuries...
Makes me very hesitant when I see any vehicle on the side of the road...will they just pull out into me - have even had some duffuses that have pulled out almost into our trucks, which are definitely not as "invisible" as a bike! It is not the visibility of the vehicle, but the ability to be rammed that matters..
