buildit Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 As someone who lives in the country I say Pot holes rock! As I listen to the nut case in Cleveland who parked her car in the street to protect others from a "bad pothole". Here's an idea, slow down, pay attention to the road and stop tailgating.I say we need more dirt roads in Ohio. The state would save so much money on salt and road crews they could cut our taxes. Plus it is easy to repair a dirt road, just add more dirt and smooth it out with a grader. On a personal note I'd be happier because the loud ass Harleys would be replaced with the far more usefull dual sport bikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yes, concrete a bit tougher against plows.yep - until the salt eats it up. ashpalt > concrete when it comes to places that use salt....our highways are concrete with asphalt laid on top of them, if concrete was better they wouldnt have bothered with the asphalt on top of it.when asphalt needs refinished, they scalp it off and repour it....if they had to refinish ate up concrete all the time - it would cost tax payers a lot more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four people including myself have tractors capable of grading bad spots. You get stuck, well you were in the wrong place and need to go home.

Make city roads as smooth as glass and keep the citiots in the city. You really want all these guys following you around reving their loud dual sports? And the only other person replying owns a Vstrom. Hmmmmmmm Yeah, but he sold his "real" dual sport bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what you want on the city streets, not like smooth roads keeps the morons from running into eachother.Yeah, but he sold his "real" dual sport bike.

Steve Butters Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yea that's true but you wouldn't have to resurface the roads as much though.yea right - concrete would be ate up so quick!!thats why peoples garage floors and frost lips get torn up before their asphalt driveways! and thats just from parking their cars on it and having the salty water drip off, let alone if thousands of cars were driving on it and the salt was being poured onto it directly!lol like i said - if concrete was better, they wouldnt use asphalt since they already use concrete under it and then put asphalt over it, they would stop using the asphalt and save money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Road snobs, you got to get away from the assfault and concreet every once in a while to appreciate real driving. Try a nice gravel road sometime. I can suggest several in southern Ohio that I enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 What would become of the assfault junkies if we did away with the asphalt? Pothole junkies? Why would street bikes complain about potholes on city streets? Think of it as a obstacle course, yes you'll go slower but look at all the extra wear you'll get on the sides of your tires.
