The side of an RV brushes your elbow as you're hugging the white line. Still irritates me to think about it.........
Approaching a car sitting at a stop sign on an upcoming road on your right and the driver not looking your way.
Descending a hill at 50+ and trying to remember how good the tread is on the front tire..........

- Gravel on corners
- Cracks in the road filled in with soft tar and running the same direction as your tires
- Railroad tracks that run at significantly less than right angles to your tires
- Blowouts at high speed
- Car doors

Wet leaves in a turn
Pedestrians three abreast who can't decide which way to split
A child on a tricycle suddenly cutting in front of me
A detonating rear wheel
Cell-phone drivers
And these are only the ones I've experienced so far...
Every ride is a new ride. If I let fear stop me, I wouldn't ride at all.
