    At least the new one they're building will still be floating.

    I hope that it will be partially sinking like the old one (meaning that the weight of your vehicle makes is sink a couple of inches as you cross) that was half the fun of crossing the bridge, as well as the slick ramps

    Bummer. I'll miss that. I've crashed on that (on a bicycle) more times than I made it across. That was some slippery shit!

    Glad I've had chances to hit it, both on bike and by cage. Big Shirl was too chicken shit to even stay in the car...

    Agreed, that sounds like it was the best part of it.
