    Default Bad Road for Spyders

    RYDER ALERT - I26 South from Johnson City to Elizabethton, Tenn. Extremely bad Sections of road just out of Johnson City. Large 2-3 inches deep sections of pavement missing. Please share and Ryde safe. We are ryding the Snake on 421 to Bristol today.
    Surprised I didn't blow out a tire or damage the swing arm it hit so hard. 4-5 places in that area mostly in the slow lane.

    This sounds as if some specialized equipment is needed...

    Those are an abomination but I bet they are fun in many situations.

    Default Good to know....

    If you find a place and get the chance check the alignment. Those are one of the causes for misaligned spyders...be safe out there and enjoy...
