Country road Hazards. #2

This looks like a fast corner! Maybe put a knee down? Can't see around the bend…

Too fast and that seam will break your tire contact, or the level change, then you'll slide under the car. Seems like there's always a car in my safety runoff. It's a decreasing radius too, (?) that means it just keeps turning sharper and sharper.

A nice guardrail to keep cars on the road, but what about you?

How would it feel to slide into, I mean under a guardrail?

See the next post too.

Yeah, there are a lot of things to learn that dont get taught in riding schools.
Some of my favorite local roads are like that, a lot of fun, but they will bite the inattentive or unthinking.

Guys,
Any one down here in Eastern,N.C.? All up and down I95 they have the same barriers.....and as for the gravel and tar road paving they ought to be shot with s@*t and killed for stinking......seems like its the only way DOT ,here can afford to pave a road{secondary} or so they say.....you need to go blazin down a know good road then see that sign...one of them got the radiator on one of my bikes a few years back...quite aggravating....I roled into a parking lot met by some mouth breather bellowing about spilling coolant on the lot....I could have cared less...all I knew was I was stranded about 100 miles form home with a leaky radiator.....told that bozo to buff off.....

Streets and blind corners and speed = bad.

Track and corners (blind or not) and speed = good!

Good safety post Bill!

[ryonker]

Yeah, good safety post.

Basically, I am a wimp and a rider with little experience. So...what I do is just go into those kind of corners slowly and speed up just a little as I go around.

I just ride for fun and I am not really into taking corners to test my skill.
