It does not come close to that standard. It looks pretty now, but I am sure we will be back in the not so distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know .. honestly, I don't ... but, how hard can it be to build a road and then perform some maintenance 1 time every 10 years or so ... I don't understand ... What is it .. the materials they use ... lousy builders .. a combination of both ... what? Edited June 20, 2019 by code_slayer_bkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't posters talk and moan about things on line they same as they would do face to face? Yes absolutely. That's what forums are for - to talk about what we see whether good or bad. Ignore those who try to stifle discussion - that makes no sense as no one is forced to read every thread -- but there always folks like that on these forums. I avoided this soi as it felt like I was doing motocross on my motorbike just driving down it. After the repaving it became useful again. I'll be watching to see at what point it becomes unusable again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Here's a series of pics I snapped of the WIP. When you look at the lack of surface prep, it's no surprise Soi Pothole is living up to its name. 25 Dec they start digging out the old surface. 27 Dec the surface removal is complete. And then it stayed in that condition for almost a month. 24 Jan they finally start laying down the new surface starting from the 3rd Rd end. 27 Jan they finish off the last bit in front of the Triangle Bar. No attempt was made to sweep the road surface clean, they just put the asphalt down over whatever garbage had accumulated. 12 Days later, 8 Feb, the first pothole appears. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I had a ride down the Soi Yesterday and its full of pot holes again. I was riding my Kawasaki KLX 250 set up for off road and with of road tires. I have been on better dirt tracks on the dark side 5555. JDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a privately owned soi where the owner doesn't care less and the local council has no responsibility. I don't know about this resurfacing, but in the past businesses on the soi chipped in to get the work done. Rented businesses aren't going to go to the expense required for a proper job when they could be out of there before getting the benefit back in more business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on CS! one minute your haranguing us for having an opinion on the poor state of the road, the next minute you’re posting “how hard can it be to build a road and then perform some maintenance etc” At least be consistent on what you think on the subject under discussion, or maybe wait until you’re sober before posting. 👌🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pretty valid question ... how hard can it be to build a fucking road that doesn't continually need repairs ?" I wasn't haranguing anyone .. just stated what I thought ... it you took that as haranguing then that is your fault .....

forcebwithu Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 They've upgrade the filler in a few of the potholes to crushed stone. That will last for about one rainstorm. Looking towards Triangle Bar it's still looking rough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
