I bit a pothole hard with the rear tire Saturday while out with the wife in the flat Illinois farm country, some cattle and a flooded farm field caught my eye and I tapped her leg, pointed, and gawked myself for a second and damnit there it was....I was only doing about 50 and with her on back I didn't what to go to hard left or right, or just slam on the binders so I chose the rear wheel to take the hit along with my L5 and L4, not a car around for miles or woods for deer to hide in and I got lulled into an easy ride, which we know really don't exist.
