    Middle Lane, End of 93 South Tunnel == SCARY!

    Tooling around last night, decided to go visit a friend in Quincy, so I hopped on 93 South. Now I remember seeing cars towing trailers getting a good 3ft of air on the trailer going over this bump at the end of the 93 south tunnel in the middle lane, but riding blithely on, somehow it didn't come to mind that this bump may be a little scary on a bike too...

    In any case, I hit that bump and prolly launched a good foot and a half in the air... luckily, I had my shit together enough not to wrench the front wheel in any direction or it could have been more than an ass pucker moment...

    Avoid the middle lane on 93 south at the end of the tunnel, unless you REALLY want to take flight!

    Cheers,
    Chris

    But when we ride very fast motorcycles, we ride with immaculate sanity. We might abuse a substance here and there, but only when it's right. The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. If you go slow and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

    Good intel. Thanks.

    93 through Boston is becoming very much like 95 through New York City

    Heh, I am sure it would have been cool to watch, minus that "Oh my god I just shit my pants" look on my face

    I don't think there could possibly be anything worse than going through NYC.

    Hohum I am sure you've ridden around the lower broadway rotarty in everett heading north on 99. You ever see the size of the pothole on that road, if you haven't avoid the right lane of 99 north at the rotary, it will more than likely cause a rider to go down.
