If you only lived in Nebraska.... Our vehicles here probably go through more Ball Joints and suspension parts than in any other state.[]

Concrete bridges used to scare me when I first started riding because the bike moves around so much under you. Our roads around here aren't too bad though.
BTW: Thats some scary $hit with the krylon can evil!

I avoid the metal grate bridges usually, just because they feel like they are ripping my soft tires apart. They aren't (yet), but it feels like it[:@]

Indiana roads aint much better. If you aren't doing loopty loops on the bumps in the road you are playuing dodgem with the pot holes. Some of the bumps are enough to jar loose otherwise firmly attached body organs and I think part of my spine has come apart sometimes on 30th street (if anyone out there is familiar with this road). Indy roads SUK!
