It's really bad here. I won't buy a car with low profile tires because of it. I've had friends break rims on some roads. I recall one time driving on the interstate to Chicago. I came up on a hole about 3 feet wide and quite deep. I just straddled it as I had nowhere else to go. Later that day on my way back I saw a bunch of cars off the side of the road with a tire truck servicing them. That lane was shut down and a long backup behind that.. Basically they won't fix anything until it breaks a car.

Mostly flat prairie. Right now I think my biggest obstacle is being able to stop or steer quick enough with 1 werkin hand and leg

You really trying to get quarterlies, hah?
The Tesla drives nice but it takes a bit of getting used to. When you let off the gas and start slowing on its own without applying the brakes. There is a fancy word for it but I can't remember what it's called.

The true test is if it rides smoothly in Wisconsin Russ. Those billiard smooth roads you all enjoy south of the Mason-Dixon are nothing like what we have up here. It's not even a knock on the Street Glide really. The only bikes that ride smoothly up here have at least 7 inches of travel.
