Well, if just out riding the twisties, my biggest worry is coming around a corner and finding gravel, sand, etc. covering so much road that I can't avoid it. Depending on the road, centerline crossers worry me a little, but they would have to pretty far into my lane for me to worry a lot. How about this: a centerline crosser forcing you into the area of road that contains gravel. Double whammy.

For everyday riding, the biggest worry (because it's happened so much) is the jackass that doesn't "see" me and decides to turn in front of me.

why in the world do trucks even try to go on this road..is it some kinda ego thing or just to piss off the riders who wanna have some fun??!!

Hey Matt,

You know, I read on the site about the two people who live close by will sometimes escort a stray truck through (after he made the mistake of getting on), but I don't understand why they don't just put up a sign. The site says that Tenn has finally erected a sign, but it just says, Consider alternate route. It should say, Do NOT take this road and it should be placed where trucks have a chance to turn around. The "consider" sign has one turn off just after the sign, but the road isn't that tight yet and truckers don't believe it will be that bad. At the last turn-off, there should be a large, bright sign that says, "trucks NOT permitted, exit NOW. Last chance"
