The last full year I was out there, I hit one bumper and a bumper cover in my truck and narrowly avoided six more as well as lots of smaller car parts on the freeways. Listening to KNX 1070 on the internet, there’s always some SIGALERT about a traffic jam caused by some car part that’s fallen off.

Listen to KRLD in Dallas, you’ll almost never hear of that. Pick a Houston, Austin, San Antone, whatever Texas station and you won’t hear it either.

Maybe as a regular motorcycle rider, I notice it more, but believe me, there is no comparing the road debris.

Wow...Someone could make a fortune selling bumpers....

Just no concern of mine...Don't tail gate, and ya don't hit bumpers, axles, hoods, dogs, couches, people, ladders....

Dodging those "Road gators" is a pain; especially when you are in traffic and have only a second to see them and act properly.
