    It's too messed up right now. It still has ALOT of lingering de-icer. It's like riding on a gravel road, dust trail and all.

    Can't hardly get 5 bikes to commit to a ride anymore.

    I went last week and I couldn't hardly go the speed limit in some areas. I live just a couple of miles from the Chicken House.

    i love skyline. i've got about a 25 mile loop i do in the knobs when i get bored.

    i still think corydon pike is the best if you want to drag something. i just wish it didn't have those blind turns

    Most times I just drag foot pegs. I don't always wear my full leathers. But I've also low sided up there. That's my favorite local road.

    Corydon Pike was the second road I got my knee down on. It's a fun road. Eric and I made over a dozen passes one day on the little section from the tracks to the top of the hill.

    I used to go out to that road just to go up and down it. I used to live 5 minutes from it. The guy that lives at the top of the hill gets pretty ticked off when you make a bunch of passes though. I've had him scream at me from his porch. Couldn't understand what he was saying though....probably something like "GOOD PASS...NOW TRY TO GO FASTER"...or something like that.
