Ouch! Man that is terrible news...

Well I am thinking that perhaps we should avoid that road for a while. I am sure the cops will be paying a little more attention to that road in the mornings to prevent any more injuries & property damage...

The last left hander before getting on 52 is also getting real nasty.... seems to be getting worse IMO... lost of trucks travel that road & its taking a toll on that turn...

Dude I hit that one today at a pretty high speed and yeah...... I won't be going through it that fast again. It IS becoming way too bumpy. That's where one of my guys wrecked a month ago, but not because of the bumps.

Well, no disrespect or anything, but I'm going for sure on sunday... I do appreciate the warning though. I may be a little younger than most out there but I'm not going out there to prove anything, just to go out and meet some of the other riders and have a good time. I won't be trying to keep up my first time around. Like I said though, I do appreciate the warning.

We might have to work something out this Sunday...there is no way I want to be waiting long amounts of time at each stop sign...this ride is really more for expierenced riders...some people must learn that the hardway...such is life

ummm you need more than just a helmet for these rides...


I'm not really sure why but seems like new guys are crashing all the time these days. don't remember it being like this when I learned these roads but it is what it is.

helmet, jacket and good boots at the least... some kinda riding pants are a really go idea too.
