I give riding a motorcycle a wide berth. In any country I might add. And esp in this part of the world.

Cement truck and many other truck drivers are happy to block their field of vision with stickers, curtains, umpteen mirrors and ecclesiastical nick knacks.  Is there any wonder that m/c riders get killed ?
