You talking about that sharp banked right-hander? That's a bad spot for a bump to be.

Yeah, it's been getting progressively worse. they tried to patch it but it looks like it didn't take. I hit it yesterday at around 70mph, it was not a fun experience,lol.

they did try patching that spot but you could f@cked if you hit it and are not ready for it. I am on that road at least once a week and watched them try to repair it twice. Wouldn't think it would be such a problem to fix

Just get your suspension set up or somethin. I hit it all the time doing uh.. well, triple digits and never have a problem. The "worst" part about that part of 23 is whenever you crest those little hills around a few turns, if you go fast enough you get air and get a nice little tankslapper going into the next turn.

no amount of suspension tuning, throttle, turbo boost or pixie dust will help you thru this thing. if you're hitting the outside part of that turn agressively you will HIT that turn agressively, then the curb and probably a tree.

I hit that thing at 70 regularly with no worries.

Like Jake said, with a good suspension your bike will absorb the impact and keep on truckin'.

Wouldn't take it beyond 80 though.
