I have ridden with/behind random groups of riders not on this board on that road, some with lowered bikes, and you can tell that they don't ride twisties often/have much skill in that deptartment.
And I'm not making any comments about this specific event, or downing anyone or anything like that, just talking in general. There really is NO mystery as to why that road claims so many.
Alot of people ride "straight lines" all day out crusing their bike "in town" and then come across one road they know that has turns and it can be bad news if they aren't careful.
Most of the people I have run across on that road have no idea about the N run or ever heard of it. There is a big "gap" between the regular N Run riders and your average person crusing that specific street.
P.S. I am not charging a fee for solving this mystery.

Raul, the reason is it is readily accessable to anyone and everyone because it is so close to town.

I LOVE patterson road. if you ever see a civic hatchback with green wheels and hauling ass, thats me
One day I will have a bike, but a S2000 is in my near future.
On a bike it may be different, but in a car daytime is useless. You can never make a clean run no matter what time of day it is. Wait till about 12 or so and its on! And I like seeing the headlights in the trees at night, that way I can slow down. In the daytime you ARE blind as to whats around the corner.

I find it nearly impossible to get a clean patterson run at ALL anymore... I don't really have a car for patterson just yet, but I still go on late ass drives for the hell of it. traffic has increased so much since when I started driving and going back theyre just 3-4 years ago!

You guys took the comment too seriously... I was doggin him for owning a Honda rather than making a serious comment in performance.
I don't ride a z because I think it's better than a supersport, I ride them by choice.
