Narrow is relative to speed of travel, my dear friend Hernan.

Very true !!!
......... however, relativity may be a peculiar concept for those who ride on the wrong side, like Whiskey does. It seems that he has taken the advice of entering unknown curves extra slow in a relatively faster manner.

Signs are in mph. I had exited the previous ones at about that pace, then the road just began to drop in. On approach I had rolled off, dropped a gear to keep the RPMs high enough & a small dab of rear, but had trailed it off, & was opening the throttle when I scraped (I wasn't looking at the speedo at the time, the patch of road between where I was & the bank on the left was getting my full attention) I was picking long grass out of the kickstand in the next town. As for what speed I was doing, there's average speed checks, an unmarked police fireblade & a marked police fireblade on that stretch of road on a regular basis. It was the hottest day of the year & a Sunday afternoon so the local cops were out in force. I wasn't much above 50 anywhere on that road. Edited the previous post to show the right corner |
