I already told ya, every road in PA has been gouged up like this for years. Not to mention the overall shitty condition of PA pavement.

And my shit only shakes teeth loose at idle.

Jabroned up pavement is the norm here. Anything PennDOT can do to make your ride shitty.

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.
