umm.. anyone that rides well enough to drag a knee on a north run, can avoid a tractor thats doing 20mph.
you people are kidding yourselfs.
Oh yeah!?! By swerving into oncoming traffic or by low siding and sliding into oncoming traffic? I guess maybe you only ride hard on left handed corners, in which case you can substitute oncoming traffic for a barb wire fence, or a tree, or name your favorite way to die.
You do realize how little margin of error you have if you are draggin' your knee on the roads up North right? There is no run off, no shoulder, nothing but a double yellow or a ditch. It doesn't matter how good a rider you think you are... laws of physics still apply and guess what, you're not superman.
