I actually miss my commuting days...the riding part, not the working part
Had a 25 mile one way which ended with a typical 50-100 at the end of day as I got off work at 3:30.Started rural and ended up in town.
I got broadsided by a deer leaving my neighborhood before sunrise...we both left the scene that morning as it bounced off me and I did not have to Lay'er down and when I got to work I noticed the big mess on my left pant leg and boot...deer-poo
Had to dodge a roll of A/C ducting at about 70MPH one day as well. There was always something blowing out of the many contractors trucks when I neared my office. Rolls of roofing nails, framing nail clips and sheet metal screws were always at intersections in the debris field.
Weirdest one was the large dump truck leaving a construction site on a three lane artery. I had just had a set of tires mounted( before I got my No-Mar) on my RT. As the truck in the right lane got up to speed and me in the center lane, a softball sized rock came out between the trucks duals. I saw it in slow motion and went where it was not going...until it took a football bounce and ended up right under my front wheel. I didn't try to make a major move due to the new tires. The tire unseated from the bead yet I was able to whoa down from about 35mph and pull over. The rim was bent and no chance of riding any further. Called H to bring the truck/trailer.
