The Deckers Route~Experienced Riders Discussion

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

The variable is always the rider..Week in week out the road stays the same unless it is altered. Week in week out riders of different skill, mind set, and awareness of ability will hit that road that never changes.

Huh??? The road can change minute by minute with rain, runoff, a truck puking it's transmission or engine, or leaking coolant. A truck towing a trailer can (and does) cut the corner too tight dropping a few wheels off into the dirt and dragging tons of dirt and sand back onto the road. 10deg difference between runs can mean the difference between tar snakes that are just a little spooky to flat slippery. The early morning dew coating the road that evaporates before 10AM. Man, there's a million ways the road can change instantly. Only the geometry of the road itself doesn't change......until you have a flash flood and then a 50' stretch can just disappear with no warning in the immediate area (this happened all the time where I lived in SoCal on Garlock road). The road is ALWAYS alive, you just have to be sensitive enough to feel it's pulse (and that of your bike). I'd re-think that there assertion.
