Yup...and I did 16 countries and logged more than 90K miles on an ;84 Harley during my stint...never felt suseptable at all...but on our interstates? ya never know what's next on the road...road kill, an "alligator" from a big rig, a hubcap, oil bottle, lumber, or WTF...once I came upon a damned driveshaft!

The Germans keep those roads clear of debris for that reason...speeds that are reasonable. Here, we just plod along complaining that the truck rubber, the plastic trash and bottles littering the roads are "bad"...

Gimme a Beemer or Audi and a strech of authobahn or primary route any day!

84 Harley

Anybody out there ever buy a bike from Berlin's "unofficial" Harley dealer back in the late 70's? I helped a buddy of mine pick up old choppers in the States and ship them over there to be sold with California registrations. Customized bikes are verboten in Deutschland, but the Polizei didn't know what to make of the foreign regs, so they didn't do anything with them. The bikes were very popular with the local pimps and a huge profit was made on them. (If anybody asks, I made this up!)
