Raced dirt bikes (motocross, hare scrambles) in H.S., worked in the local motorcycle shop as the junior grease monkey. I was the guy who went out in the shop truck and, after the ambulance had left, picked up the bent, broken street bike and shoveled it into the back of the truck. 9/10 times, car had turned left in front of the the motorcycle, or something similar.
Other than test drives on bikes I was repairing (quiet roads, pretty much no traffic), I stuck with dirt bikes. The trees don't up and jump in front of you.
The trees don't up and jump in front of you. You must live in a area with nicey-nice forests, I have known trees, bushes and rocks that traveled miles to get in front of me.
