I'd prefer to have the potholes back if it meant the city would stop trying to fill them with rock chips. Or at least, clean up the rock chips a little better. It's much easier to come around a corner and avoid a pothole than a street covered in marbles.

Out here in Arizona roads are in good shape . Nothing like a good ride without worrying about the roads.

I was surprised that I-70 through Denver was in such bad shape.

I believe we are all in the same boat when it comes to neglected roads and the very reason why my suspension has been upgraded to help smooth out the rides.

Here in Ohio the roads suck. You don't see many 21" front wheels around Cleveland. Thats part of the reason I ride a Bagger with 16" fat tires.
