If the dangerous roads were more sticky, they wouldn't be quite so dangerous Grin

Hey, mine was most likely swept to the side of the road by my back tire...that's what doing massive wheelies does for the community Grin

Oakland, Berkeley. That is all.



 cheeky

I don't know how you guys live over there. I feel spoiled now with my SF pot holes you could loose a small child in.

Shattuck Ave., (north of ASHBY, South bound, left lane) at the stop light, a giant puddle of oil, in a pot hole.
The winning combo  waytogo Definitely oil, black shiny, a few quarts. I'm so glad I didn't put my foot in that.

84 West after approximately 1.25 miles after passing applejacks - During La Ducati Day someone deliberately poured oil around both lanes of the turn. After 7 bikes crashed, cops poured dirt on it. It still shows. Just a warning to all to watch out on this turn. It still might be slippery..

Mt. Tam has loose gravel. It looks like they're getting ready to chipseal.   Forgive me if this is old news--I hit up Tam yesterday ascending from Fairfax-Bolinas Rd and going down towards Panoramic/Hwy 1.  Both had loose gravel covering both lanes and for a majority of the lengths.
