First ride of 2009 ....

Yamerhaw · 01-05-2009, 01:54 PM

4 of us, one got a ticket for passing on a double yellow(long straight though) and for expired license(one week), one of the others tore his clutch out and had to walk beside it up hill for about a mile(it was running but wouldnt pull him on it), another guy dropped his in wet grass when putting it back in his building, so i'd say overall, not a good first day

Pretty good chance the rest of your rides in '09 will be better!

NC has some of the LONGEST double-yellow areas I've seen on perfectly straight areas with good visibility. A good 50% of the time I think I should be coming up on a passing zone... nope.

And PA has some passing zones in areas that should NOT be passing zones.
