Default Seeing Through the Corners

Weather has been great for riding in the Northeast (mid 50s). I really like this time of year because all the leaves are down and the vegetation along the roadside is dead, so, as you enter the twisties, you can see "around the bend" way better than during the summer months. Not that I'm lookin to corner like a flat track racer, but seeing through the apex before entry is always welcome. Great riding for now - until the salt hits the roads. JMHO

Yes, now you can see the wet leaves on the roads better. Just don't over-ride the bends in the road.

The corn is in and that makes the country rides a lot better, when the corn get high U can't see at all through the intersections... We have several deaths every year due to people running stop signs and U can't see them coming at all till Ur there...

Still no snow here and none in the forecast and that's very unusual for this part of Canada, we usually would have had the snow blower out once or twice. You can ride during the day buy by 4 PM the sun starts to set and the temp s drop below 32 and then the risk of ice. The other morning I heard on the news a ride hit a icy spot and slid under a pick up truck...ouch
