Most of the time, when I see a semi, my first instinct is to get the hell away from it. I’ve heard plenty of stories about bikers being injured by flying treads and been buffeted by their “jet-wash” enough times to view these freeway behemoths as my natural enemies. The lone exception? During the tropical downpours in Florida—they happen like clockwork every summer afternoon—following the lights of big trucks was the only way I was able to keep pace in otherwise blinding rain. But hey, even T-Rexes had to frolic every once in a while. Check out this sweet clip of a Mercedes rig turning donuts.
