Having done that, I don't think I'd shy away from the 5 mile one, if there was fudge in it. Last night I did about a mile on that grooved ground out pavement thing they do before re-paving, at 55 mph. That's way worse.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057471985849527394.post-63235994397856009432011-09-18T21:32:33.017-07:002011-09-18T21:32:33.017-07:00I have a small steel grate bridge I go over twice ...I have a small steel grate bridge I go over twice a day. The first few times going over I had a death grip n the bars and felt sick to my tunny the whole way. Little scoot tires on deck = wobble = fear. Once I knew what to expect I got used to it. I rode my motorcycle over it yesterday for the first time and I have to say it was a completely different ride on my motorcycle, it was smooth & no wobble, big tires make a difference. Glad that my bridge is tiny, can't say I like driving over them all that much. Good for you doing it!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.com
