Concerned

Late to this but I thought that I would mention that I had lunch with some other motorcycle riders a few weeks ago and in conversation I told them about going to Bartles MC museum outside of Birmingham Alabama back in January. It is the worlds largest collection of vintage motorcycles displayed beautifully and worth a stop in if they are any where near the place on route to Florida. Both said they would not ever go there (US) and when asked why both said Americans have guns. That blew me away because they ride motorcycles in and around Ottawa with all the potential hazards but are worried about catching lead poisoning. A scientist friend said you cant compare those two things, really you cant compare the level of potential risk and harm to oneself, hmmmm. We did 9976.1km door to door travelling through many states and didnt see a single gun or have any insidents also avoided talking politics.
