Default Re: Little things I've learned from riding a while...

You a farmer Hickey? Good points about the farm machinery, also take into consideration that lots of farm equipment may not be in the best mechanical shape, and things like brakes and lights may not be in the most optimal shape, so expect the unexpected around the "farm" type trucks. When you come up to someone moving cattle on the road, slow down, and pull straight through the herd, don't swerve around, and don't honk your horn, that is when cattle will do unpredictable things, again, straight through (don't worry, they will move) and nice and slow, and be prepared to stop. I've seen people do the god-damned dumbest things while moving cattle, getting out in the middle of the herd to take pictures, honking, driving 3 MPH for like an hour :
