chip seal...

[hubcapsc]

I really enjoy my ride back and forth to work... heck, it is nice in
the car... I posted some pictures a month or so ago... nice farms
and views...

They chip sealed my favorite part of the ride a few weeks ago... the
majority of the loose pea gravel might be settled out by now, but I
started taking some other awesome roads and haven't gone back
the other way yet...





This place is the bomb! The pond, the house, the horse barns... it is
in soy beans all the way back to the woods, and way down along the
road in the direction the bike is pointed...

Yep it'll be settled in the middle third of the lane you are riding in.

Piled up along the edge of curves.

Needs some good rain to wash that crap away.

Other places in the west when they chip sealed, they let the vehicles remove the rocks.   Had a lot of windshields fixed due to those loose rocks.  Here they actually come back and sweep of the rock.

Still wears out tires more quickly, but at leas the windshields last longer.

Cool pic's

Last year a riding bud called and told me to stay off of a stretch of U S 160 west of West Plains. He told me the contractor had put entirely too much chip on. Inches deep in some areas. Kept Phatt Ghurl and my Olds off that fer a spell. Always thrilling when you come around a sweeper leaned over into ball bearings!  And some times it's not on the MoDot website OR they pull the warning signs too cursed soon!  RIDE SAFE.

Took my motorcycle road test on freshly chip sealed streets. Tester was suitably impressed by my ability to practically ace the test under such crummy conditions. Gotta give credit to my ride at the time: 1973 CB350.
