Much of the road surface quality of this Skyline has suffered comparatively in the last 10-15 years due to the rough chipseal they’ve put down. Hwy 84 down into la Honda on the other hand is so smooth in comparison.
Chipseal that they put down on Hwy 35, in the mountains, every few years actually feel dangerous when you ride a motorcycle on it. I can actually feel my tires slip, quiet a bit, on most sharp turns with the new chipseal. Very disconcerting and frankly, butt clenching
, when it happens. It eventually improves when the oil in the chipseal start to dry out on the surface, but that could take up to a year to happen...
