I like commuting to work on my Wing but the construction on I-93 from Boston is so bad I almost don't want to take the bike anymore. I'm riding along on Friday night, then all of a sudden, the road diminishes from 4 to 2 lanes with those New Jersey barriers on both sides. To make matters worse, the left lane is not drivable by bike (as far as I'm concerned) too many grade variations. The lane I chose also got into the different grades with no warning; all of a sudden, the bike drops down to another level (long ways-the lane split in half). They did have white lines indicating that but by the time I figured it out I was already there.
It made me not want to take the bike after that because it wasn't just the road variation. It was all of the smoke and dust and debris, like pebbles, rocks, etc.
I might just try it again but they should (I hope) take into account the MC riding public while construction is taking place. When I made it through all of that I said never again, but I'm already thinking about tackling it on Monday (weather permitting). Gas prices being what they are -we've already beaten that one to death.
