You have to be full on defensive every minute you are riding. It's why I really like lightly traveled back roads.
That new Indian is a serious piece of gear, isn't it? I've test ridden a couple and they ride as good as they look. I'd really like to have a Roadmaster parked in my patio...
So the Rex Manchester story is part of the reason my mom was always supportive of my desire to ride.
Yep, I used to ride fairly aggressively, staying out if blind spots and away from traffic. Love me a good open road though, less traffic, more enjoyment.
I'll good Rex, see if his story comes up.
