Attn: Rally Goers!!
Just a heads up, talked to my FIL who was recently riding in the area we are going to, and he mentioned the poor state of some of the roads, especially those near the inn. Lots of slippery tar snakes and the like, and for those who haven't been up on some of these roads, watch out for gravel, dead snakes and guardrails
Be safe everyone! See ya'll soon! |

yeah, these aren't going to be as well groomed as the gap and the skyway. Just take it easy and you will be good (well unless a corner surprises you and you happen to be a guardrail magnet anyway.)
As long as I don't get hurt, if I total the bike, I won't be that upset. I want a BMW anyway.

Yeah, some caution will be needed in areas, but we want everyone to do that anyway so no guardrails, R1's or teenage girls get hurt during the rally
