I've done a lot of motorcycle touring and there's only a few things that concern me at all now:

1. The few remaining 100 mile stretches of no services, when extreme weather is possible.

2. Sundown towns, if you aren't white. Yes, they still exist.

3. Running out of water.

Especially nowadays, when cell phone + satellite coverage is nearly universal and affordable, you can run a phone off a small solar panel, and a credit card can fix any fuckup.

Nevada had to pass a law fairly recently to ban the still-in-use practice of blaring sirens at 6PM to warn native americans to leave town.

There are still places in the west where the level of law enforcement is similar to Tatooine. Mostly in sparsely populated counties and very small towns, where attention from state governments, mainstream media and the internet is general can be avoided.
