So I'm in my work truck driving on Hwy 20 east of Nevada City, Ca on a beautiful somewhat twisty mountain hwy in the tall pines. As I zoom through a nice posted 35 mph curve (easy 50+ on a bike) when I see a five foot 2x4 in the road at slight angle. Mind you this with the trees your forward vision is somewhat limited.
My first thought was holy lee cow! Would not want to hit that with a bike, the front could wash out real easy on that.
Spotting a place to pull the truck over but moving to quickly to pull over safely I go up a half mile, flip a u drive pass the 2x4 to where I can turn around again and pull up by the board on the side of the road. Jump out and watch two cars hit it before I can snag it off the road.
This is not the first time I have pulled some sort of a road hazard for bikes off the road while on the bike or in the cage.
It's a jungle out there on two wheels, just trying to bank some good motorcycle karma where I can.
