Well crap! Just getting out with my new knee and working up my stamina for riding. Able to do 3 hour rides (with a break) no problem. Went out for a short ride yesterday and got rear ended. My Veronica is dead, long live Veronica!

Wow Barry. Are you okay? Bikes can be replaced easier than another new knee or hip.

Barry actually has video of someone coming halfway in his lane on the BRP from a couple years ago. It is somewhere on the forum.

Barry normally rides sweep on the Meetup In the Mountain rides. He has extra lights front and back for extra safety. There is always a risk no matter what you do. We had a couple scary moments last year at the Meetup ncluding a tractor trailer blocking the road in a curve. I still plan to ride but always keep an eye out for idiots.
