Bridges

Post by BigDaddy SnakeOiler »

I know lots of people are cautious about crossing bridges on their scooter. I love it! Love the rush. Did this one today. Read my blog on the Stella forums for more on my trip.

I still get uncomfortable on bridge decks. I watched a lot of Speed Racer too back in the good ol' days.

I'm OK with bridges except those that have steel grates in lieu of concrete pavement. The wobbling effect that I get when passing over them is very unnerving.

I'm with you on that one! Around here several metal bridge deckings have been replaced with a kind of structural plastic panels. Big improvement for scooter and motorcycle riders.

I'm always on the lookout for cool bridges.

Especially when they are closed down or abandoned.

Sometimes I go under the bridge.

I have a lot more pictures of my Buddy next to bridges.
