Good news... roads are completely clear and salt free! Bad news, that means its time for road crews to patch all the potholes this winter caused... tar and little rocks are starting to show up on my fender/ door and quarter panels... pisses me off

I got pulled over because of that once... late at night of course. He asked what I was doing and i said my suspension doesn't agree with the road. He got a kick out of it

We don't have to worry so much about pot holes here, although they are all over the place this year... My biggest headache is the bridges, the heat/cold variance is so much here that the bridges expand and contract a lot making the "bump" as you get on/off of the bridge more unpredictable, it could be a 1"dip one day and then a 3" bump the next. With my Headers/Exhaust I'm scraping the hell out of the rear part of the X and there is nothing I can do about it other than slow down 20-30 m.p.h. which can be rather difficult when you're running 70 down the interstate.
