1) I was on may way to a delivery this afternoon in Olive Branch MS, when what should I see but a Savage. Metallic red, rectangulat aftermarket mirrors, otherwise stock. Male rider. One of y'all?
2) If you are riding in the vicinity of a big rig, you need to be extra careful. Many trucks in the USA have a sign on the trailer that reads "If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you". True enough, however, if you are on a bike, take that to mean, "Even if you can see my mirrors, there is no way I can see you". A bike is awful puny next to a 60 fot long, 20-40 standard ton tractor trailer combination. The above mentioned bike kept running in and out of the blind spots. If the rider sees this, play it a bit more carefully next time, most truckers don't look for bikes.
