It’s a character flaw that I have. I’d be dead from it in a week. Two weeks, tops. The first five days would be me being scared of it, and the next two would be me overcoming that fear when I really shouldn’t.
Also, I have very few friends that ride around here anymore, because the game has changed. Too many deer. Too many drunk or high drivers. Too many distracted drivers. Even if they’re being responsible, there are just too many factors running against them. Range of view in my area is extremely low. You’re just not going to be given enough time to react.
I get that. I have very little interest in road riding anymore, after a number of close calls over the years. My next bike will be a lightweight enduro that is just street legal enough to travel minimal distances on pavement until I can get on dirt backroads/trails. That’s far more versatile where I live.
