Crashed...

[mattb]

Heh, I know that corner. On my very very first ride with this gang - just a couple of weeks after I started riding - we did Pescadero, and I had quite a scare.
You get through that first batch of tight uphill and then there's this bit of downhill straight. Sweet, you think - just as you get to the SCARY DARK AREA and realize that there's a tight left lurking in there somewhere. Anyway, I came in there a little quick and just barely panicked my way through it. No wonder Sid (if i remember) was a little taken aback that Pescadero was my first ride with the DML..

Anyway, glad to hear you're OK. Trees are quite a detour!

Yup, that's exactly the spot -- I lost it just the last part of that turn...

That's a sneaky corner.  Glad you're okay, Matt.

Glad that it turned out OK for you, relatively speaking!

Is that the corner with all the skid marks going off the road?

I often get spooked passing by gnarly skid marks, burnt up flares, pieces of fairing, etc.  Bad juju.  Those roads are great, but there is very little margin for error.

Sounds like the MOB signage crew has another assignment!

I think there's a sign there already...it's just often ignored

There is a sign there. About half way between the corners. You can see it on the google link on page 1 of this thread.

Unfortunatly, the sign is a 90 degree arrow. The turn is actually closer to 160 to 170 degrees!

I'm always up for another sign engineering project

Glad your ok!!!
Yeah that road is .. fun 

I wonder if this is the same left hander we had an accident on last year? Is it a left that goes immediately into a right?

Glad you came out unscathed and the bike not too bad...

Yeah that would be me... I think, but that was in 06 that I crashed just a mile down the road or so...


Anyways, I take that whole road with a lot more caution than I did, I just don't ride it enough to know where it goes.

Yeah, it's a bit misleading - it would be nice to see a "15 mph" on there or something...
