I used to draft trucks a lot in my wayward youth. We would often catch the big sugarcane rigs joining the highway and slip those upwards of 65mph! Then one day we dropped off and seconds later the rig trailer bounced as it slowed for something...literally back wheels off the ground for a second or two...we would've been squished on the back of that if we had stayed a little longer. No way would we have braked as fast. Never again! I ride with some younger guys now and I've warned them but they have a go anyway...I just shake my head and watch them go.
