The Worst Roads in America

[Cat Man]

I swear, the roads in Missouri are going down hill faster than a falling meteor. Highway 36, between Macon and Monroe are going to kill a rider someday just because of how rough they are. You cannot ride your bike at the speed limit at all. And being two lane at that, you have to watch out for the four wheelers as they are trying to keep all four on the pavement. And to top it all off, they (DOT) have the other two lanes ready for traffic, but they are not opening them up.

I saw a billboard the other day, it said "Missouri roads, yo0ur mechanics best friend". I belieive it.

Here in PA we hold that record now for the past 25 years or more in most of the trade rags for the trucking industry. I think it is improving finally though :?

All of us at the jojo rally were so impressed with the quality of the Misouri roads. Could it be a county problem rather than a statewide thing???

Nebraska roads around me arn't that great either. Big clumps of gumbo from tractors, straw, no shoulders, narrow bridges and nice patch of gravel on every corner. But the patch of gravel doesn't matter because after 10 miles of straight when you do get to a corner there's a stop sign.

Ive had fairly good luck with missouri roads. My friend that lives in PA would agree with the roads being really crappy there.

NYC's got quite a few scary patches

potholes you mean

Thats because Nebraska has more cattle than people. The narrow bridges are for stampede control. Only one cow can cross a bridge at a time. :-)

Gotta put a bid in for Northern Minnesota. Some of the waterfilled potholes are going to be stocked with Trout this spring. -Pete '80 1100L

The roads here in Cincinnati are pretty good. with one major exception that would be St Rt 562 (Norwood lateral). It looks like an Iraqi military airstrip on the day after bombing began. the potholes caused my the cold and snow plows finally get fixed in late Septemer just in time for them to get ripped up again. And of course I need to use this everyday.

I realize riding a motorcycle there is just insane but after traveling the country by cage Detroit (city) gets my vote for the absolute worst roads

Roads get really nice here around December when they fill in with snow and ice.

the farther south you goin mo. the better the roads are.Down by branson they are all fairly new because of the traffic.i live in K.C. and you have to be careful where you go because the roads are bad.

Come to Louisiana to hone your skills then when you get back to Missouri you will think the roads are heaven.
