To each their own, but as a fellow motorcycle rider myself, I absolutely shit myself around huge trucks that won't be able to even see me.

I guess you’re supposed to reenact the space whale scene from treasure planet.

An absolute gem of a movie. Didn't see it until I had kids and it was one of the few movies that I didn't get tired of rewatching again and again with them.

It really is one of the top-tier movies and it’s quite sad it didn’t get the recognition it deserves.

With all this expensive AF gear it's humbling to know that a single tire can still end me quick enough I wouldn't even know it happened.... In the best case.

Only in Wyoming where, unlike Texas, truckers have the sense to stay to the right. Also, there is de facto no speed limit there because there are only a handful of WSTs. I suggest avoiding Wyoming <-> Colorado unless you have nose plugs or no sense of smell.

Wyoming is exciting because a gust of wind can blow a semi into you at any second.

Driving across I-80 we'd always count at least a couple of semi's blown over. Not to mention sudden blizzards, snow blowing sideways, or super dense fog.
Once while I living in eastern Wyoming we had an "80 car" pileup, probably more like 60 cars but one tank truck caught fire:

I'm actually looking forward to future me being able to ride my motorcycle around a freight-train's worth of semi-automated cargo-haulers on interstates that are mostly devoid of vacationing families.
