AND: OMG- try getting tailgated by a semi on a motorcycle. I remember coming off a steep decline in Pa. called "Boot-Jack Hill"; so steep it has runoffs. When I looked in my mirror all I could see of the semi was the expanded mesh grille material covering his radiator. He was too close for me to even see his vehicle name on the radiator.
Not much I could do there but speed up, pull over and wish I had an extra pair of shorts. Not the time for a brake check on my part! What bothers me the most is, if anything - ANYHTING happened (like the bike sputtering when it ran out of the main fuel supply and needed to be turned on to reserve) I was dead.
