If it gets results it’s worth it.

Glad to hear you're okay. Who knew someone not even on the road would be a hazard 😦

When i was young and dumb 19 yr old,  my 18 yr old wife used to wear a miniskirt when we went out to eat at nice restaurants on my Honda motorcycle. It was our only vehicle in LA.
It was a very early form of hi viz on two wheels...as we always had a couple of cars protecting our rear ends....watching her's !!:-)
We wore helmets and thought we were being safe!
Crazy...
But we got away with it.

We get that when my wife wears skorts on our rides. Lot of perverts
 out there.

The only road hazard that ever caused me a crash was a really good looking woman on the sidewalk. Looking at her, I rear ended the car in front of me.  Lesson learned.

Next time I'll stop safely and take a longer look.

I had to re-read this whole thread 'cause it is a good lively one! Last few entries flashed me back to San Diego in the early '60's: horny young sailor (me) on his new Honda Hawk cruising Pacific Beach and La Jolla (pronounce "La Hoya" for you North Central and Eastern people) just looking around. A couple of near collisions taught me Priorities when on two wheels. Short skirts in SOCAL was the norm as was the resultant crashes. Now I'm too old to do anything about short skirts even if I did see one or more!

Hitting unexpected Cattle grids on a scooter at 60mph where the warning sign has been damaged or knocked over are an excellent cure for constipation.

Saw a new one a few days ago. A car floor mat just beyond the apex of a blind curve. I'm glad I was keeping a 2 second following distance with the car ahead of me. Had amble time to spot and avoid, but I hope other 2-wheelers are as lucky.

Drive safe everyone.

From the "Only In Idaho" department: Last week I was following a guy in a white pickup who managed to dump a large BBQ grill out of the back end. I was far enough behind him that I was able to avoid that large thing spinning in the middle of the road. After pulling over and helping him lift it back into the pickup bed, I was surprised that he placed it on the open tailgate. He then headed to the cab, so I figured he was going to get a rope or something to secure it down - nope, he just took off with it perched teetering on the tailgate.    I immediately took an alternate route!

Glad to hear you were well out of the 'Danger Zone' (cue music). Sounds like the truck driver will have a future lawsuit on his hands if he keeps that up, or at least a really smashed up and damaged grill. Maybe it was stolen, so he was itching to get away.
