...and some make fun of the amount of riding I do... but I don't like traveling on my bike. I'll ride all day long to ride but using it to get somewhere is when I think accidents tend to happen (aside from speeding or jackassery). You're doing a lot of highway miles and you're on the bike for extended periods of time... a perfect recipie for highway hypnosis. Hell, I know when I'm driving to VIR or CMP I'm in another freakin' world. Combine that with 5000lb vehicles tailgating you at 80mph and it's just not my thing.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
