Shocking ride   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #18111 of 19524 |
So, does anyone else ever got shocked when you ride underneath the
powerlines when heading into the entrance from the back parking lot
onto Sue's trail at Rocky Ridge?

There is this crazy spot just outside the gate in the parking lot and
if you are touching your bars when you ride through that point you get
shocked...I even got shocked through my gloves...doesn't seem to happen
anywhere else...

Has this been going on for years and I just never ride through that
particular spot with my hands off the grips? Or has someone upped the
voltage recently?

Just curious...

I think you are feeling the magnetic flux given off from the high voltage wire. The intensity is affected by the amp draw on the lines and moisture in the air....
