    I was wearing a mesh riding jacket and hit some sort of big bug on my shoulder at around 80mph, left a welt like i got shot with a paintball gun. I know it wasnt a rock either as there was no one in front of me nor oncoming

    I drive east to go to work at one job. So I leave before the sun is up and all the snooze button hang overs that race to be late are still hitting that loozer button. I get done around 9am and see them moving about 2mph heading east as I head west at the speed limit or a little over.

    In some areas they are programmed that if you're doing the speed limit you won't be stopped by a bunch of lights once you make it through the first one. Definitely not the case here

    Meanwhile as someone who drives a metric ass ton, if im going the speed limit from a stop light, by the time i get to the next light it will be red again. However, if i go ~5-10 over i will hit that light and most of the next lights on yellow or green.

    Good call out .. I’ll have to keep my eye out for that and report back. Typically the GS gets rain duty in commute days and the 650 gets to stay dry in the garage 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Lovely ride 😊 Wild life is definitely an issue around here😊 Down the small country lanes deer, foxes, pheasants and rabbits everywhere. One of the reasons I like having a bike that makes a bit of noise, puts them on alert. It’s not the whole answer but I am sure it helps. Probably no help on a highway but certainly on the country lanes😊 Thanks TR 😊

  • @Thruxtonrider21
    @Thruxtonrider216 ай бұрын

    Thanks TAYM. I agree with the noise part, at least I hope it helps.. 🤣🤣 Night riding makes day riding seem like a “walk in the park” from the point of view of alertness and situational awareness.. hopefully making me a better rider all around. Ride safe and thanks for watching. Greatly appreciated ☺️
