ReconRat Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) The turn on 374, might be the one at the park entrance. It's tight, and easy to cross the center line.The corner speed posted won't help if rider not paying close attention.The only warning might be the park entrance sign, which should slow every one down anyway. The route 79 ramps at route 16, and vice versa, take out riders often. Not sure why, maybe just a popular area. edit: This is the view on 374 at the park entrance. It doesn't appear to even have a speed sign limit for the corner. It's very easy to over cook the turn. And it appears that the roadway leans left on the turn as well. With the park entrance, there is often traffic on the corner, and often slow. I've also seen cruisers cross the center line on 374, when trying to keep up with sport bikes. Don't do it.

There are exceptions without a doubt, sure glad you have not been down. A squid on a bike he should not be on in the first place, is by far the most dangerous person on 2 wheels.

Nothing will happen to me." >> Deputies said that Holman's Harley Davidson travelled acrossthe center line on eastbound state Route 374 in Hocking County.Holman was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. I know this curve on the ramp. Suggested speed is 35, I think.The light post is knocked down several times a year. It shouldbe placed on the inside of the curve. >> Newark police and medics were dispatched to the ramp from northbound S.R.79 to westbound state Route 16 shortly after 9 p.m. on a report of a crash. Emergency crews found Richard Mitchell, 56, when they arrived on scene.Medics pronounced the victim dead on the scene. Investigators say Mitchell lostcontrol of his motorcycle and crashed into a guardrail and lamp post. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medina Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Wow. I was on that road, being held up by the flatbed. About 8 cars back. (our rental cabin is another 5-10 minutes travel westbound on that road) The bike didn't look that bad. I mean, it really looked like a walk away. I had no idea it was a fatal. Not going to tell my better half ether, she mentioned specifically that whole area looked like Gods Waiting room... I drove over the accident site half a dozen times last weekend, kept staring at the marks trying to guess what happened. No skid marks from the car, I'd guessed they hit the curve too hot, over corrected- front tire started to lay down rubber, pegs caught, went down, flipped, now into oncoming traffic, other peg stuck in, rear tire left more rubber. no skidding tank towards oncoming traffic.Fatal? dam, less than 30mphdid he have a rider? we saw a pink sweater or hoodie tossed onto the bike on back of the flatbed.Very sad, many tore up families this week. Come on people RESPECT your bike for it can kill you if you don't Riding careless and beyond your skills with no gear will injure or kill you THAT ^we saw so many riders out there this weekend, cruisers harleys, all fancy looking leather jackets-all sons of anarchyied up, no helmets, making poorly executed stops, turns, going thru the gears like they just the bikes. Saw more harley looking bikes than plastic crotch rocket types. At least the squids were full atgatt, and neoned up properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I bought my wife a vibrator and refereed to it as a crotch rocket, that she might actually give it a try? I mean actually let me try it out on her.
