conn-e-rot Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 For those of us that venture into PA watch out for fresh oil and gravel on the roads I've ran into on several state roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 You forgot to mention the potholes, broken asphalt chunks, cracks and car-swallowing sinkholes.PA roads, like Ohio roads, only worser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedTriple44444 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I haven't found a PA road worth riding yet. I must be missing one somewhere. Any nice stretch of curves is either cluttered with traffic, or has a 35 mph speed limit, or bad pavement. I rode Ohio 555 last weekend and was moving pretty good right below 78, and ran into fresh chip and seal. I almost slid into the ditch on the other side of the road trying to stop. I can't understand why they would pave a road with that crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateBob Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) How about Kentucky or West Virginia for good roads? Edited June 29, 2012 by NateBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky runs the gamut, some good, some bad, all kinds of conditions but WV keeps up their state routes for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a blast on my 625 SMC, once i got the hang of it.I love WV roads, they are usually in good shape. In Kentucky stick to the state roads, they are in better shape than the US highways. I think its KY5 that i rode a few months ago south of madison indiana. It was a really fun road with no traffic and glass smooth pavement.
