New Exit Ramp From Work

[Bob_Roller]

Just opened a new exit ramp for my commute home .

Odd thing about one turn, it's a constant radius 90 degree turn about 35 mph .

If you stay to the right side of the pavement during the turn, about halfway through the turn, the bike takes a very quick track to the left, first time I rode it, I almost ended up in the concrete barrier wall .

Don't see anything out of the ordinary with the roadway surface, a bit of 'texture' to the surface, pretty much like all of the concrete roadways in the Phoenix metro area have .

Both the airhead and oilhead do the same thing and the oilhead has never had any issues with grooves in the roadway before .

Asked another co-worker that uses the same exit if he had any issues with his Goldwing and he said he the same thing happened, the bike wanted to go to the left without any warning .

Maybe there was a large amount of magnetic rock in the barrier wall.

The slope doesn't change?

There are a few exits that I have experienced something similar. I have considered that they were not a constant radius but the turn "tightened"  to some degree after or at the apex. The other thing I have considered is a kind of optical allusion created by the design of the exit which makes it possible to enter the apex too fast. Who knows? D2

No, everything is constant with the roadway surface, constant radius and a little bit of 'banking' about 10 degrees, mostly for water drainage .

Is there anyone in your Highways department you could talk too?? interesting that the Goldwing did it as well, my first thought was torque from the engine  the Honda is in line not opposed but could be loss of grip as you bank the bike over on the bend..... is this is a left ?? Only time i have had a sideways slide issue was during rapid acceleration(rapid for a Cow!!!) on the M1 J40 ramp getting out of the way of a d*ckhead banking left got thrown right.
