Get full protective gear. The asphalt is very unforgiving on your body when you dump your bike.

And you WILL dump your bike at some point.

Road rash is the worst experience you can ever have.

Hairy experiences are a regular occurrence too.

One night, on my way home from work I came out of a blind turn and there’s a 10 point Buck standing in my lane! I downshifted, took it over into the next lane and got far away from him.

A few nights after that, a groundhog ran across the road, right under my bike (between the front tire and rear tire). My butthole puckered and swallowed the seat, the only thing going through my mind was “I’m going to eat pavement!” Because if my rear tire catches him, it’s all over. Just missed him by a couple inches, thankfully.
