There is nothing at all about A-pillar visibility (or mirror patches) in federal car safety rules.

With cars getting bigger and blind spots expanding, that seems like a serious oversight.

That smile when you hit your 50th new ride for your 50th year at the top of Destroying Angel, part of the Copper City trail system outside Three Forks, Montana. Huge views from up here. I counted seven different mountain ranges (but there could be more.)

The sometimes smooth, sometimes rip the bar out of your hands chunky eastern Montana gravel riding definitely takes its toll on your bike.

Big day riding eastern Montana farm roads. Another 50 for 50 ride wandering Carbon County.

Also, that last line. So, so B-town. Why use an incinerator when you could just throw bricks of meth out on some ranch bonfire? If only the feds weren’t so by-the-book.
