Fall Road Hazards
Fall, my absolute favorite time of the year! Cool weather riding is the best. As with any season it brings with it it’s own set of road hazards. They may be obvious, but it doesn’t hurt to review them.
Deer, on the move as hunting season gears up. Watch out for moving deer as well the dead carcasses in the middle and side of the road. Fall leaves, lovely to look at, slippery when wet! Farm equipment, bringing in the harvest means slow moving farm equipment on the roadways as well as corn. Corn is as bad as loose gravel. Wino’s down in wine country. No one should drink and drive whether you’re in a car or on a motorcycle. But let’s face it. We all know it happens, so keep a watchful eye out for those wandering over the line or going too fast around corners.
The days are warm and nights cool off fast. Don’t forget to toss your leather in the saddlebag or strap down to your handlebars for the ride home. Enjoy the season. I know I will!
