I have seen it on the beltway. In fact a guy I know wiped out on one
of these "buckles" on a Sportster and I ended up fixing the bike for
him.

Not trying to indict John... just wondering about 5", seems even outside
Boston that would be addressed somehow...

They closed the beltway a lane at a time and addressed it after
several serious accidents and stories on TV about it.

Surprised more people didn't die.. I know if I hit a 5 inch edge with my
Jeep, at anything over say, 30 miles an hour, there is no way I would
maintain control... Knowing what I know about cars, I can say with
almost certainty that that five inch "curb" at speed would collapse the
front end of my jeep... I imagine the bike you fixed must have busted in
half up near the neck...
