I heard on the news that Baton Rouge, La was the 3rd worst city to ride in. Anybody know what the top 10 worst are? Tim

 

My guess would be the following, these are just my opinion based on experience. I can't imagine Baton Rouge being in the top 10.

1. Los Angeles, CA
2. San-Francisco, Oakland, CA
3. Washington DC
4. Seattle, WA
5. Houston, TX
6. San Jose, CA
7. Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
8. New York, NY
9. Atlanta, GA
10. Miami, FL
11. Orlando, FL
12. Tampa, FL
13. Jacksonville, FL

 

I wonder if Baltimore made the list? Couldn't pay me to ride there, hell, I don't like *driving* there - Roads are nice and smooth until you hit city limits, and then it's almost comical how quickly it turns to a pothole ridden mess.

 

I would guess Honolulu is up there on the list. Cabs,airport vans and buses everywhere. When I was there for my honeymoon I had a RK rental. We stayed in Waikiki. The riding was great on the rest of the island but everynight when riding back to the hotel it would take 30-45 mins to make it the last 3 miles [:@] And atleast twice I was almost run over by a cab driver in a hurry to switch lanes [&:]

 

That list is incomplete if you dont have Detroit.

 

Tokyo should be near the top of the list.

 

Dallas and Houston are bad to ride in (from personal experience). The roads are OK, but choked with idiot drivers that have no problem running over you so they get whatever they want.

 

I would have to put Boston near the top of the list. This is a city where a stop sign means yield to people and a yield sign means step on it before the other guy gets there. At traffic lights, a yellow light means lets see how many cars can speed up and make it through before it turns red. I also think that every cage in Boston has malfunctioning turn signals. If you do see a turn signal its probably because the person is in the far left lane on the highway and has to cut across three lanes of traffic to make an exit that is less than a couple of hundred feet away. Not to mention the pot holes that are patched up with ashphalt three inches higher than the rest of the road. Thank goodness my Road King is as nimble as it is. These are just a few examples. I could go on and on.

 

Who the hell wants to ride in the city anyway!!![sm=yikesomg.gif][sm=boosign.gif][sm=badidea.gif]

I would have to say any city or town in Florida. The average age of our drivers has to somewhere around 85. They all look like that little old lady in the Windy's commercial that says, "Where's the beef?" You know the ones. When you ride in back of them all you see is a head rest and if your in front of them all you see is the steering wheel.
