The ‘kei’ cars and trucks are growing in popularity in the U.S. But many states have explicitly banned them in recent years. A bill at the statehouse would allow them on Colorado roads.
That reminds me of a time when a girl I had as a passenger on my 125cc bike as a 16 year old. I was going downhill, behind a full semi. I was annoyed at how slow they are. I started passing on the downhill. Unfortunately, after the downhill, there’s a small bend with trees and you can’t see behind it.
So after I had started accelerating (125cc’s with 2 people aren’t that powerful although mine was the 2nd fastest in town) I saw another full semi coming towards us.
I had to make a split-second decision. To either brake, which would’ve been dangerous, because I would’ve needed to brake so hard as to almost lose control, or, hit it, and hope we make it.
I decided on the latter. We made it so that if she had had he arms spread out, she could’ve prolly touched the mirrors of both those semis at the same time.
When we got to the town centre, some 1.5km after that, she jumped off and started beating me silly.
That’s a fair point, though personally I wouldn’t want to drive a motorcycle among trucks on the freeway either.

Ah, adrenaline, how I miss you so.
