Don't forget the old folks.
Granted - usually unpredictable - but also usually slow. I can mostly get around old folks safely. Just have to watch for them on the "pull-out" without look manuever.

1999 Kawasaki ER-5 (nice metallic blue - sold :( )
2000 Suzuki SV650S (also blue one :D )
The rain, not the worst immediate obstacle but it is always raining, I have good rain gear to go over my leathers but i still haven't found a windshield wiper attatchment for my helmet.... oh well.
