Morning ride- I am on a two wheel bike, my daughter on the Spyder. I get cut off by a driver that pulls even with me and then swerves into my lane while doing 60 mph. Driver than pulls out of my lane continues ahead and causes a 3 car accident. After doing a 360 and ending in the woods, she pulls out of woods back onto highway and passes us again only to have a blowout and cause another close call.
I call my friend (sheriff) and he gets a patrol car out to investigate. Turns out to be a 49 year old woman drunk out of her mind.

Afternoon ride with my wife- riding the highway in the right lane, all cars hitting the brakes and swerving to the right. Up ahead is a bed of a truck in the left lane. Must have been on a flatbed headed towards the recycling plant.

I haven't been to the tail of the dragon, but it is never dull on the streets of Long Island, NY
