Just a note to depress Pennsylvania rider's.....the pot holes are everywhere waiting to suck up a non-alerted biker. And the gravel, PA should come out with more raod signs....drive at your own risk....pot holes and gravel next million miles! I thought the gas price increase would help pay for all this up-keep.

I'm a refugee from PA - And that is the TRUTH!  PA driving separates the Men & Women from the boys and girls.

On one visit home I had brought my crotch rocket and MISTAKENLY thought I'd be carving through the wonderfully twisty roads winding through the Appalachians like I was at Laguna Seca!

WRONG!

Every turn is littered with a horror show of:
  • Potholes
  • The gravely contents that used to live in the potholes
  • Ash/Cinders from the 9 month snowy season
  • PennDOT moguls (Do we not have the technology to fix a pothole without leaving a giant lump?)
  • The gravely bits that are breaking loose from the PennDOT moguls
  • INSANE Deer

You have to keep your wits about you driving in PA!

When I worked for the news so many years ago, I was assigned to shot a photo relating to the PA Pot Holes. Well!, I did and it even won many contest's. What the pix was a large plastic shark with it's mouth wide open in one of the enormous water filled pot holes! I wish I would have saved a copy of that.The shark had all the color's and teeth of a real look of Jaw's!

I could have ridden today since it got up in the 70's, but since i was well aware of the mentioned PA road situation this time of year, I just got it ready for when the weather gets consistently warmer next month. By then, hopefully, the roads will have improved.
