Default Re: Question to Shadowchaser re: big rigs and motorcycles

Good stuff! [thumbsup]

When I read it yesterday I thought "mostly pretty basic, but worth repeating; hell I've always done that stuff (except for the light flashing)."

Then riding in to work today I realized that while I don't linger by semis on open highway, I've gotten more lax in heavy rush hour traffic. And here in the Boston area, that can still be 80 mph ;D so tire blowouts remain a risk. So today I sat back and refrained from passing the rigs until I could get clear in front of them.

Shows to go ya, even when you think you know stuff, without keeping fresh, it's easy to drift into bad habits.

Thanks for the refresher Shadowchaser and thanks Hiero for posing the question [clap]
