Money can be saved right away by taking a rider course. Most insurance companies give a discount for graduates of safe rider courses. Backroads have their own safety issues. There is normally more gravel and loose stuff laying on the road as well as roadkill. Nothing like hitting a woodchuck to rattle your bones. And a friend lost his wife when a deer stepped into her path, and she was only going 45 mph.HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
