Seems like it might have been that big turn before Hydesville.
That’s the only Guardrail around that area so it must be, yes!!!
no such thing as a fender bender on a motorcycle
i love motorcycles but you certainly are the first one to the accident
Good old 36 will getcha
Good??? I’d say from past experience, about 30 years of driving it, it’s mediocre at best!!! But then there’s Alderpoint Road which is even worse but doesn’t seem to have nearly as many wrecks on it!!! “Go figger”!!!
Alderpoint is driven much slower.
Some times yes in the winding sections where it’s very narrow, I haven’t driven AP Road in years so maybe people have slowed down some!!!
Yes dan Fuller that is a good point because alderpoint is pretty bad but really there is no wrecks on it too much.?
Alderpoint is used by locals . 36 is a common route for everyone.thats the difference i can see
Since 35 is a state highway it does see a lot more traffic than Alderpoint road for a fact!!! It must be the fact that so many of these meatheads do NOT know how to drive a narrow winding mountain road taht accounts for so many more accidents on 36!!! Good point indeed!!!
I think we got the problem solved the non local flat landers eat it on 36 .They think they are Mario Andretti not .
We always thought 36 was great, compared to the Alderpoint Rd. I actually love them both, even though family members of mine have had serious accidents on each of them. I don’t blame the road usually. Drive safe out there folks
Probably texting to his hotie and got distracted
On a bike??? Now that I would pay money to see!!! Taking that curve while texting, that is a picture of insanity!!!
