Amen !!
and around here almost every pickup is a flying trash hazard due to the owners using the bed for a dumpster until "free landfill day" once a month.

Cut the guy some slack. He's just putting a nice bevel on his lumber.

^^^^^THIS^^^^^

One of my first rides with my wife after our near fatal crash we were riding on a five
lane road well behind some dude pulling a trailer full of junk.
I got to thinking what if some of that junk fell off and caused us to wreck, so I cut
over to the left lane.
Just about that time a crow bar about three foot long fell off, hit the road and bounced about
three foot in the air.
Looked like it would have centered me.......................

Bro have you ridden in I-10 in El Paso??
That place is like suicide. Theeee worst place to ride in ever out of all my years of riding. No defensive driving, loud pipes, whips, reflector vests, horns, or whatever can keep you riding comfortably there. No one looks out, signals, follow speed signs, tails you while riding, cuts you off.

You don't see it in my rear view mirror, but there's a white truck behind me. I saw the front end diving and I wasn't sure he was going to slow down before he rear-ended me, so...
