The roads around here in central NY aren't bad, in fact many of them are pretty descent, even with plows and salt. The main contender are frost heaves and tar snakes. That's okay, the tire only slips the width of the tar snake.

Nice pix Jules. I had the bike out last night for a bit and I found that the roads are better on the bike since I can ride bwtween the damage LOL! The roads around here will always suck so it's just nomal, but they are way worse this winter.

Jules,
Out of curiosity, what are cops like over there/do you have to deal with them much?

Most of my riding is done in Wales, great roads and beautiful scenery...I know sometimes at the weekends the police will swoop down and catch all the speeding bikers but it's as much for safety as anything else...so many older riders who should know better just over cook it on these good roads, treat them like a race track and lose it....
So I just go out during the week ride sensibly and don't think about the speed too much...

Eric...I don't have problems myself...I tend to go out on these roads during the week when quieter rather than weekends...the speed limit on them is 60mph and I'll often bimble along at 70-80mph maybe touch 90mph here and there but I'm sensible and don't hang around at silly speeds too long.
