Biggest scare thus far was riding @ the Gap with Pippi and coming around the corner to find a huge gas tanker taking up all lanes. Pippi squeeked by and I had to ride into the ditch to prevent being taken out or run over. Believe me you would lay some bricks in your pants if you came around the corner to find Mr. Semi taking up all pavement. Just ask Pip!

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??!!

oh yeah, that would definatley suck seeing that beast heading right for you In fact trucks in general scare me when ur passing them and they just start inching over into your lane!!!

Its hard to describe but when you make the Gap trip you will understand. The route in is a nice easy sweeping flat road along the river. Before you begin to go back up the hills there is a boat launch which Semis could possibly turn around in and seek alternate route (if they actually knew how tight the Gap is). Otherwise once they begin their way up the hills it gets far too tight and there is no turning back. So all they can do is go forward. I heard some trucks it takes hours to get all the way through. After Pippi and I's run in I understand everyone frustration with these semis taking up all lanes +. However the Gap is fun to run through a couple times a day, otherwise there are plenty of good roads and twisties to ride in the area. :redmc:
