Not only do you have to look out for blind/stupid drivers, but you have to watch out for animals, as I painfully experianced a few years back. I was on my way home from work one Dec. night, cruising along about 50 mph. I was taking the back roads home, with the intent of avoiding rush hour traffic on the main highway. As I said, I'm moving along, high beam on, when all of the sudden, I got a big deer right in front of me. I didn't have time to crack the throttle, or even say *hit, and I'm flying, literally. I hit the ground feet first, breaking both legs, then four ribs, plus a cracked sternum as I smashed the rest of the way to the street. I had to crawl out of the street, almost getting run over. The doctors kept telling me how lucky I was, I didn't feel that lucky at the time. It will be 8 yrs. this Dec. that happened. I still have the bike, 74 super glide, I've had the bike now, over 20yrs. i just can't, no matter what the wife says, get rid of it. Bottom line, there is more to watch out for than cars. Jack
