[QUOTE="XRpredator, post: 338748, member: 19389"] [b]Re: Washboarded roads It ain't just spring bounce, KW! As a former grader operator, I have mucho experienco with the washboards. If you can blade a road wet, get it nice and smooth, and let it bake dry, it will last a long time without needing more attention. Now when you have to dry-blade, it's altogether different. Spring bounce is a factor, but so is speed. As soon as you start making dust, you start taking the "binder" out of the road, making the larger aggregate rise to the surface. This will increase the spring bounce, which, if everyone would drive slower, would not be a problem. Unfortunately, people don't understand slow, so they start hammering the road, causing the washboards. I think front wheel drive cars have exacerbated the problem. As for the whoops (getting back on topic!), I think it is a combination of the # of bikes, wind, speed, rain, etc. I've seen roads get a little "whoopy", then not be ridden on for a while, but I come back and its a whooped out wonderland![/b] [/QUOTE]
