Default Interstate bound

I'm on the interstate fellas and doing well at it. I'm almost at 500 miles of practice on the bike and the last 200 the majority has been on I-64. This past weekend I did what I call the Tri_fecta. I made my way through the interstate loop here going through all 3 tunnels making it a round trip of about 80 miles. And this morning I drove it to work 35 miles and feel real good about myself. I'm no pro but I'm getting better.

Practice, Practice, Practice.....

Just don't let yourself feel too comfortable and let your guard down. Those cage drivers are prone to doing stupid things.

I think one of the main things that get's new riders into trouble is that they just don't realize how quickly there bike can be in a place that the cagers don't expect them to be.

Ever notice that the person
telling you to calm down
is the same one that got you worked up
in the first place.
