POTHOLES!

[mrfats]

After my Spyder comes out of hibernation, and I'm afraid that won't be any time soon as we're expecting up to 8" of snow tonight, I don't know if i can get a mile from house before bending a rim on a pothole! They're unbelievable!! Too numerous to miss! What a winter this has been!

And to think we complain about the condition of our road surfaces in the West. Got to hand it to you folks.

Hope the worst part of your winter ends with the upcoming snow nojoke

I have seen potholes that will "GROUND" a spyder, and no way around them. :yikes:

Hi John,
About the best that you can do :shocked:...
...Is aim to put the inside edge of a front wheel JUST to the very outside edge of the crater... and hope that the back wheel misses! :yikes:
And slow way down; of course!

holes

some of them around here you can drive into than out of

:lecturef_smilie: That's why you must slow down... :shocked: nojoke

It's not going to be fun! If the potholes don't get you, the frost heaves will. I have never seen it this bad! .....and we aren't even actually into pothole season yet. When it thaws we will be lucky if there is any road left at all.

We may be trading in our Spyders; for Outlander 1000s! :shocked:

There's got to be some genius out there that can devise some kind of terrain mapping navigation thingofmagig. Let it spot the pot holes before the bike does kind of like my SUV's forward collision warning system. :gaah:

Hey maybe Bubba is working on that too......

And with the potholes comes all the rubble scattered on the road that came out of the hole. Soon followed by loose patch material after road repairs. It's going to be a jungle out there.
Still, better than sitting here at the computer.

:shocked: Wow! :clap:

I may even have to take up the sport of Golf now! :2thumbs:

Pothole Capital

I definitely feel your pain!

In 2013, Transportation Services spent $7 million and applied almost 15,000 tonnes of material on 750,000 potholes throughout the city of Edmonton, enough to pave seven kilometres of a four-lane roadway.

Seems like one way or another this winter is going to keep hurting us for a long while.

I like that idea Scotty. :2thumbs:
