Oh that's ugly and has or will kill someone soon . Nice save on your part and your right I'm betting 70% or more of the riders out there would have ate it . Think I'd be screaming bloody murder to any and all authorities that you can contact about it . That will take a car down hard much less a bike .
Hate to disagree with you I believe the man no problem . I've gotten 3+ feet of air just hitting a friggen pot hole the guy behind me said the only thing that keep my wife on the bike was the 4' tall sissy bar I was running at the time plus he saw the tag on the car in front of us from under my bike , so a ramped incline at speed ? Yes you can .

Twiz- I got nothing but respect for ya. I am just saying 3 feet is A LOT of air. Here's Josh Brookes at Cadwell. In this video he is over 60 mph launching off a 30 degree incline. His front wheel is 3.2 feet off the pavement and the rear is nowhere near that high.

Good save! That road is obviously washing out on the left there. Hopefully that is just a temporary makeshift repair. They are going to have to tear that section of road up to fix it right. You said in a later post that there was a sign, but it doesn't sound like it adequately conveyed the extreme nature of the "uneven lanes". Take a pic of that before you contact them, they will probably put up better warning signs after you do. I wouldn't be surprised if you are not the only one to complain about it either.

That is why my night driving has slowed way down. In fact I avoid it. Glad you made it through it without getting hurt. Now that they have been informed of the problem the next guy can sue them if he hits the pavement... They are aware of it now the liability is on them.......
