I don't even consider putting my bike on the road until they're clear and clean.

Scouting run in the cage would help.

I'd never get to ride!

With all the rural areas around here, the is always sand and gravel on the roads.

Me and a buddy went out riding last sat. we stuck to main roads and even they were a mess so I could only imagine what some of the backroads we like look like at this time. Besides most of us take it real easy early in the year, gotta shake off the winter rust and contend with poor road conditions.

I need an inspection. But I really dont care about that. I'd rather buy ammo.

No because I don't recommend it as an escape route or applicable for use. If you want to use it, that's up to you. I would never give advice with using it.

I definitely don't use it in corners.
