Riders would enter heavy traffic already in the roundabout at 50MPH. I watched in amusement/amazement and it all worked out; drivers gave way, MCs somehow found space and I didn't see one crash.

Gratuitous pic of a couple of my machines...

Is the catalyst powder dangerous/toxic when exposed to the environment? I assume that's what all the dust/ash is lying about? Should I tell my friends nearby to head for the hills, so to speak? I drove by that refinery nearly every day for years.
