Tar snakes are about as bad as grass clippings or pine needles on the road to me.
Tar snakes are about as bad as grass clippings or pine needles on the road to me.
My area's DOT crews added MORE of these to roads so now I have a mix of these fresh slippery patches and the older sketchy ones overlapping.
There's no rhyme or reason to the micro slips they cause me when riding on them, nevermind trying to lean in on a curve with these splayed out on a hot day.
Anyone have any success when it comes to riding on these?
I'm not a motorcyclist. Grass clippings are bad?
When riding in straight lines it's fine but something to slow down for when leaning into curves.
Yeah, ok, that make sense. I guess the amount also plays a factor.
Thanks for filling me in. I love little tidbits like this.
Add: wet concrete dust/tailings. Avoid those pavement-cutter crews like the plague. Also: wet street-sweeper dust and leaves. Wet paint, as in, rain on pedestrian-crosssing stripes.
If you MUST ride over any lo-traction surface, "loose hands, tight knees." Try to neutralize all acceleration, get off brakes and throttle. Let the suspension be in its happiest set before hitting the <whatever.>
I've aged prematurely along with you, @i_promise_nothing@lemmy.ml, tar snakes suck.
Yeah sometimes with them snakes you gotta lay’er down just like every June with them gras clibbings
