[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 602682, member: 13519"] Cattle guards can be a bitch, but watch out for them near corners. I know someone posted that they are not in corners due to loss of traction, but there used to be a cattle guard on NM Hwy4 between Soda Damn and Fenton Lake. If you were northboud going into the sweeper hot, the cattle guard was just about where you would start to slow. Having to wait until it was crossed put a couple of bikes in the ditch (coupled, I'm sure with people riding too fast). After enough bikes crashed and enough people bitched, they just got rid of it all together. Then there are the genuises in Albuquerque who put a large metal drainage grate across the entire road in the middle of a turn on Avenida Cesar Chavez. The grate is about the width of a cattle guard and has the same traction properties. They were polite enough to post signs warning motorcycles to use caution due to loss of traction. [/QUOTE]
