Dude if Amherst was a bunny slope, Springfield would be closed for avi danger. You wouldn't believe how many bent rims get brought into my shop in the spring to get fixed. I literally have the pothole hotline on speed dial, which believe it or not helps get thim filled pretty quickly.
It's like a joke though. Disused train tracks? nah, just leave 'em there. They're almost like a jump if you have enough speed. Also- The Big Fucking E??? The road from the Memorial Bridge to the Big E is embarassingly atrocious- I mean half of New England is coming to town, but the main route has a worse travel surface than the majority of Mogadishu's goat paths.
So yeah, I feel your pain.
