Some may say I'm crazy, but, I went out tonight and cleaned a large amout of gravel off of my turn onto the on ramp that  I take every morning to work.
Anyone else ever go out and take things into your own hands on public roads like this ?
Or do I suffer from a certain disorder? :crazy: :biggrin: :wacko2:

Well i live down a single track road with earth and gravel 'pull ins' to let cars and large agricultural vehicles pass each other.  These pull ins have huge pot holes in them and if you have to pull up on one quick and get your foot down several of us have been known to come a cropper and fall/nearly fall off the bike as the hole is right where your foot needs to be!! So I have been known to head down (with my trailer) to the local quarry pick up a ton of 'hoggin' (road sub surface aggregate) and whilst a friend drives slowly i shovel it off and a third friend tamps it down.  This is all highly illegal and the local government authority (and probably police) would not take kindly to it, but if you report it through the proper channels they dont do f*** all, so its us or nothing!  We refer to it as 'Gorilla ground works'
A life has been well lived, if you have planted trees under who's shade you do not expect to sit.

I'm told I'm cynical, pessimistic and generally miserable. I say that I'm realistic! The fact that reality sucks is not my fault!
