[QUOTE="Old Guy, post: 1196764, member: 35438"] You mean like the "No guns" signs reduce bank robberies? ;) But I get your point. I've ridden it a few times, and saw some passes that just took my breath away. I was there on a Saturday a few years back and saw more ambulances in route than I ever saw on a race track. I followed an elderly couple riding a Bergman through there, and as they approached a right-hand hairpin, a flat-bed 18-wheeler came through from the other direction. The trailer took their entire lane and the outside wheels were in the ditch. They had absolutely nowhere to go. He just got on the brakes hard and stayed right, and a space just barely opened in time for them to go through. Many people would have taken the ditch, but he held it together long enough to make it.
