ReconRat Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 There's roads like that around here. 555 isn't what I expected from that picture honestly. I thought it would be a tighter road.It varies a lot. Some parts narrow, some a bit wider. It can trick a rider sometimes. Another winner is blind turns right after a rise in the road. Where you can't see them, and won't turn if you're going too fast. It's an old road, really meant for horse and wagon, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Glad you're ok!555 is a tough road, it's deceptive and will lull you a little bit and bite you. Off camber, decreasing radius and unmarked turns....and it's a long road too so you tend to lose focus.I've been on it probably 15-20 times, and I've seen 5 wrecks personally (luckily none were me!) and one was a fatality.

jagr Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yeah! He loves you and always forgives! .. but you should fear him, and ask for forgiveness before you die, because he suddenly turns into a judgmental asshole after you're dead. just remember he loves you, thats all that countsGeorge Carlin?
