VT RT 17


So as a spur of the moment thing a friend and I decided to loop over 125, up 116 and back over to RT 100 on RT 17. Watch it on 17, very little crap in the road but that nice white film (salt residue?) is EVIL.
Not even hammering and we were sliding all over the friggin road. The left hander (as you head towards waitsfield) with the picnic table, had both tires slide...then when they hooked back up the rear power slid exiting the turn and I was barely on the throttle. It slid in a few other turns as well.

someone pray to the rain gods, 17 needs a good soaking.
