Back in 1991 I bought a new, candy ruby red, 1200 sporty from Minnig Cycle Center in Greeley, CO. The sporty was my first brand new bike. It was February and although the weather was cold and looked like snow, I decided to ride the sporty home some 50 miles. All was well until I found myself behind a ratty old travel trailer on a 2 lane road in a no passing zone. I was travelling about 50mph. Leaves, debris and snow floated off the roof of the trailer which I managed to avoid. Moving along I made the mistake of looking at the passing scenery. Just as I focused back on the road, a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood blasted right at me. It had blown off the roof of the travel trailer. I somehow avoided colliding with the plywood, but found myself shooting down the snow covered shoulder nearly out of control. I was ticked. I regained control and sped up to the trailer to alert the moron driver pulling the travel trailer, only to meet a 2nd and a 3rd sheet of plywood! This scared the bejeebies out of me as I wasn't expecting more plywood and I was travelling much faster this time. I hit the shoulder again, only this time it was pea gravel covered in snow. I laid the bike over and this put a softball sized dent in the tank. I was glad to be alive though. I think there are a dozen lessons or more here. To this day I stay back from travel trailers.
