WILL THE WILD MEN PLEASE STAND UP!!!!
I as a MB rider deal with some of the most dangerous driving situations I can think of....Driving in traffic,peice of cake,Driving in city's,piece of cake,Driving with the drunks on the road,peice of cake....
This is my situation everyday....I drive in the country at night on a 2 lane road with no street lights,no shoulder and the speed limit is 65mph for a 6 mile stretch at 9 pm almost everynight and im talking about it being pitch black out....This road has traffic like a city street,except they are going faster....With it so dark the on coming lights blind me and I have people almost run me over everyday....Its a wild and exciting ride,but im nervous at the same time....
I also cross a long bridge that has 1ft max on the other side of the white line and the rest of the road has no lines....Bumps and pot holes in the road and the shoulder that should be there is part of the road with chunks missing in it....
I would like to hear your wild adventures and what you have to go through....

Yeah, your wild adventures would be a little less suicidal if you used some lights.
Do you want to become the next organic speedbump?

(125yz)...One rather exciting event was when I rode over another rider as we were racing..I was right behind him when he dropped his bike at a turn. The amazing thing was it didn't slow me down at all. (550 honda)... One other time I was doing 40mph when a car ran a stop sign, there was no time to slow down. I discovered what free flight was that day.

I'm no fan of Amazon since they dumped all the North Carolina affiliates including your's truly, but while I do have lights I also have these: Amazon.com: Reelight SL100 Flashing Compact Generator Bicycle Headlight and Tail Light Set: Toys & Games

I've been using them for several years without fail-- they even work in the daytime.

As for my wildest ride... Here's the link: Flying with Billy Jones

Enjoy!
