    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

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?

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! :D

Good safety post Bill!
 
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.
