Someday, someone from staff at AMA will see these posts and get the states onboard with signage for motorcyclists concerning road construction hazards.Who knows just someday that might happen.

Glad you made it up OK. It sickens me tho think of some situations with the uneven pavement that I have only been lucky enough to need to drop down and not go up. Grooved roads ready for paving are the pits, even if you don't change lanes. They just throw you all over.

At least you made the transition well. On I-295, in a construction zone, 2 riders died within hours of each other. Tried to make the a lane change. New lane was higher and it was dark. Threw both riders down in front of traffic. Cars couldn't stop in time.
