Arrrrrgh!!! TDOT sux

It's turned out to be a beautiful day here and 39 degrees so I decided to slip off from work and ride the bike back.
On the way back about 2 miles from the house I get to the intersection of the state road that leads into town. WTF!!! TDOT has come by and sprayed slick and salty brine all over the f****ing place. The d*** road looks like the top of a margarita glass! We'll I'm not driving thru that **** so back home I go. I swear these guys are the ones who would wear a rubber to a date.

Now, that's FUNNY!

I do have to agree.... It's a f'ing mess around here now and it will be a month before all this crap blows/washes/whatever away!

RE: Arrrrrgh!!! TDOT sux

Here's a good one for you, I was riding to work one morning traffic was moving but steady..
I was watching a cager that wasn't waching Shi*, I look back to the road and I'm right upon
a spilled load of LIQUID LIME..This stuff was 3 inches thickI didn't go down but the crap
turned a black aspencade completly white including ME..
I was PO'ed, took the whole day to clean that bike up, and to top it off
I was being laughed at all the way home.. and the wife thought that was funny too!!..

(Now that I think of it, it was kinda funny)

But, been there done that...
Good thing you saw it before you were in it...

In my younger days I considered my CB650C as a dual purpose and a friend on mine had never seen the old Camp Forrest that was here in WWII so I took him out and showed him mainly old concrete roads and foundations. On the way out we were on a road that was covered in mud. I was about 99% of the way thru it when he said this looks slip....pery and the rest was history. Didn't hurt the bike but we looked as if we had been wrestling pigs. I told him to shut the f*** up until we got home.
