Default On my trip to Vegas...

There was a lone biker headed the same direction as me. It can be a frustrating drive because in most places you're only on a two-lane highway. It was the middle of the night, and I know for sure that it would be a tough ride being all by yourself surrounded by cagers, most of which want to go faster than you and aren't concerned with your safety. At one point there was a car RIGHT up his arse, and I was getting very upset about it. Fortunately, nothing happened. The weekend was an all-around success.

...and most don't care enough to get it.

when i was on my trip to corpus christi last summer, a commuter on a harley decided to join me instead of just passing me.

made it a bit nicer, even though we never spoke.

Yeah, the guy rode behind me for a while... maybe he saw my Biker Friendly sticker.
