Cycle Year Round
Post copies on the trail of the story about the guy in Texas that got caught and arrested for some serious charges. Might make the a$$hat think about his little joke.

"I saw a number of riders at various places coming from the South heading north so figured whoever set the trap might still be in the area watching."
Is this an isolated spot?
Look out for the trolls under the bridge.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

in back trails here in s nj, i, once, came across a wire set at neck height on the trail. there were no markings or flags on it, not visible if you were at speed. this could have de-capitated a motorcyclist on the same trail, going 35 or so mph.
scary thoughts as i cut the wire. haven't been back there for 12 years or so.
sometimes slow is good!
be safe.
