Truckers






Everybody knows the trucker's life is just "Go to work, sit down, diddle with the shifter, murder a prostitute, shift, eat something, murder..." all day, then go home. Smile

 The music was much worse than the driving in the first video.

 The second video was simply a convergence of idiots.

Here in central PA we have signs that the road crews are supposed to put out that say "fresh oil".  It's supposed to be put some distance before hand, so that you have a warning, but it's usually in the middle of the curve where the tar and chip starts.  Crazy

Other than that,
Cagers on cell phones.
Rednecks in trucks.

And last but not least...

Porcupines....  Have almost hit 2 of them since living here....

Tar & chip is the worst idea ever for road resurfacing.  Not only on the bike, but it gets all over your car or truck as well.  PennDOT; always trying to save a buck at someones expense.  Like putting down gravel instead of salt in the winter.  Yeah, that helps.   Lol And unlike salt which washes away, you have to watch for gravel piles until mid June.
