Posts: 802 Perry Hall, MD | Took a 2 day ride to Virginia Beach. First I'll have to say that Rt. 64 sucks. Lots of time to sit and look around at who else is on the road. Anyway, over the past year I've only run across 4 Visions riding the roads here in Maryland, but in just 2 days I saw 6 on the Virginia highways. May not seem like a lot to some of you, but I got a kick out of it. What ever they're putting in their water, we need some here.

The highway has been under construction/reconstruction for over 20 years. We joke that its the teaching ground for all new college engineering students to play with this stretch of the road as a "project" . they tear it up, the patch it up, they tear it up again, this time the surface is too high, next time its too low, next time rainwater wont run off, tear it up and re surface it in another direction etc etc etc Its maddening. For what we Virginians pay in road taxes and tolls we should have highways made of gold. The state is now using the excuse that "the economy has forced us to move road repairs down on the list" BULLPoopee, the roads were awful 2-3 years prior to the fall of the economy and the money paid in taxes was still there. Politics and money once again rouine peoples lives......... take another route. |

SORRY TO BE YELLING THIS BUT YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS ON THAT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY, FOLKS DON'T WATCH AND DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE RIDING A MOTORCYCLE OR DRIVING A TANK. |
