jimbob 0 Posted November 17, 2010 Barely any passing sections on Wynola, even for a very skilled rider on a sportbike. Sorry for the loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldbeemer 0 Posted November 17, 2010 The Mistress and I had a close call on Wynola some time back, when another rider took a turn too fast and came into our lane. It happens way too fast when you suddenly have someone coming at you head-on. We were lucky that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
