i must be crazy. haha, i dont even have 250 miles on my bike (had it for a little over two weeks) and im brand new. but alot of the rides i take i go from my house, then i go on rides out into rt 84 and alot of other roads that are 45-55 mph. i dont really worry too much, not many close calls. i mean the way i figure it, if i get hit in the back on a 50 mph road, its actually only like getting hit standing still by a car going 30-35 :-/ eek. but i donno i dont worry too much when im out there cause i usually do alright.
