Tonik Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I take it back, they probably did say the same thing to you. You just couldn't hear them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Rider6 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Nearby where I live, they were repaving a road I frequently ride. It was in the gravel stage and there was no warning sign for loose gravel, nothing. I think I have the video of it saved off. I was riding 2 up at the time as well. I went from road to gravel at about 50mph. Thankfully I was able to slowly decelerate and turn around. If I went down, I would've considered a lawsuit. Many road contractors do *not* consider motorcyclists at all. It should be a stringent requirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I've worked with ODOT and been involved in litigation with them. Like most goverment agencies they do not give a shit about anything but their budget. They will tell you what you want to hear so you leave them alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I work for a contractor. We work within the ODOT & FHWA bureaucratic restraints. The bureaucrats care way more about Indiana Bats, Fish spawning season on a small portion of a stream, or silt than they do for motorcyclist safety. Sad, but true. Motorcyclists need to watch out for their own safety, nobody else is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotleadsingerguy Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I'd reach out, yes. I had the same issue when they were re-doing parts of 90 awhile back. It's obnoxious, and it usually means I have to make a hard jump from far-end to far-end of the lanes to cross the barrier quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
