In the first pic, what's up with the micro Z car? Nice roads. Oklahoma roads are full of pot holes --- deep enough to do an endo. What doesn't holes is patch work. Endless mile if patch work. Bill in okc surely will back me up on that! Front end alignment shops make a fortune here.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Big threat of the area are the 18 wheeler's shown in several of the pictures , they will be coming the other way and many of the switch back corners are so tight they have the cab on one side of the corner and the tail end of the truck on the other side of the corner completely blocking the corner and then some get stuck that way :shock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71fwf7J6ARQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

We followed that truck until he forced a Harley cruiser off the road. We stopped and held the bike from going over the edge. We pushed/pulled him back up onto the road but the trucker didn't even stop! We caught up him down the road and he had pulled over but he didn't want to talk to us! From there we escorted him out, warning the others coming up that he was behind us!
The other thing to watch out for are the bears! My son saw one cross the road at the lookout and I had one cross the road about 10 yards in front of me!

That "micro car" is a trailer behind the Goldwing!! Looked like a mini Corvette!!
Nice roads? You bet!
