I wonder what the speed limit was in that area, and how fast John was
going... I mean, if the roads were under construction, the speed limit
could have been down around 40-45 in the city loop. Seems you might be
moving a bit faster than that to do that kind of damage, and there is no
way I am going to believe a "five inch" dropoff, all the way across the
road...

No road under construction. Normal speed limits - probably 65, although maybe 55. Well, maybe the
drop off was only 3", I didn't get out and measure. They were worse than anything I've ever seen on
an overpass. There were three or four on the stretch around Boston.

I can see a 2-3 inch drop off and in a "non construction" area.... In CT
at least you would see a sign that indicated a "bump" or something
"ahead".... But yeah, I can see 2-3 inches... I guess I am more
familiar with how roads "work" up here and I drive with a trailer on
more than not so I "smell" stuff like that coming Not to mention, I am
somewhat neurotic and even superstitious in some of the precautions I
take before, and when towing a trailer.. I won't go deeper than to say
those of you who have paid attention over the years have heard me refer
to the "walk around" I do before my wheels ever move, ever.... no matter
what...

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.

He's never been in the real world where heaves and settlement happen!

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

They won't address pothole issues unless a car has been reported missing
in one.

How's this, "The height may have been only 2-3", but felt like a half foot!"

So accuse me of lying, as though I give a rat's ass. They were the worst 'bumps' I've ever
experienced on a highway.

Sorry John, knew you would take it that way.. Just trying to keep a
handle on things in this conversation. Remember, the libs here are
waiting for us to screw up so they can get back to saying the whole
country is falling apart...... Lighten up, I know two inches at 65
probably felt like a foot.... I get it, I tow a lot up here, really I
do.....

This is a stupid conversation IMO, but what the hell, I'll throw in
my 2 cents worth.

Ever notice that a speed bump taken at 30 mph isn't anywhere near as
upsetting to a vehicle as crawling over it at 2 mph?
