I know it is the federal DOT. I wouldn't trust my state DOT to fill a pot hole.

Amen, POTHOLEs in Michigan are Crazy!
Ive watched the workers just 'toss a shovel load into a pothole, then just move onward to the next". No tamping it down, adding more to Level of the road or such. Lazy Overpaid workers! How many times have you michigan ppl rode past such workers and yet ONLY see 1 man acutally Working , while the other 4-5 guys just stand with shovels in hand WATCHING the 1 guy work?
side note: I have 2 scorpion helmets... ummm their DOT tested, but arent they also SNELL certified?
Also i do mostly city riding, some highway at 65MPH. Different testing vs if i were to Wipe and Fall, Smacking my head onto a Wall or Road at 100+ MPH at the Track!
