they do the chip seal ("tar and chip") stuff here too... thing is, they do it too late so the road is already effed so all the process really does is make already screwed up roads worse.

And then most of it gets scraped off by snowplows.

Bottom Line: FUCK tar and chip, or whatever the fuck it's called in your state. FUCK IT in it's STUPID ASS.

it has it's place... like in the mountains... good traction under snow and takes more ice to make it completely slick

but yeah... everywhere else it's just cost savings.... they have it in quite a few places here in MS...



FWIW: it was called Chip seal... or Chip and Seal in Oregon...

I just call it tar and pea gravel. Whatever, it fucking sucks whether you you are on a bike or in a hummer.

Fixed for accuracy. Unless it's a chopper w/ retarded rake, Harleys handle just fine, especially at 'cruiser' speeds - there's no excuse for them wandering all over & out of their lane other than having an inept operator.


As for the gouging - other than being a minor annoyance when passing, I have no problem with it since I treat the double yellow as a concrete barrier except when passing. It will likely cut down on on the asshats that routinely use both lanes, riding like they're on a track - that would be a positive, IMO.
