Default Re: Riding in the hood.

I had a huge truck and trailer pass me on a two lane road today and he didn't even bother to go into the other lane. I swear my bike has some of his paint on it. Still it was okay because I just held my ground and he was gone in a few seconds. When I first started to ride this thing, I would have been looking for a place to go.

Same with the mirrors. Things are closer than you think with my mirror. If I see a car, I'm standing pat, but if I don't I'll look over my shoulder an go now. There are things I'm sure I will get even more used to now that I ride almost every day.
