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?
Whoa I’ve never seen a road that bad! I hope for your riding enjoyment/safety they redo the road soon.
Let me guess. Speed limit is 60, but every other driver things its 80 and ride your ass through it?
That sucks man.
Just completed a ride from southern CA to CO. Tar snakes in AZ in 90 degree heat are awful! I’m already hot and uncomfortable, trying to hit a good line, then the rear steps out or the front pushes!
Combine this with grooved pavement, surprise gravel road detours, potholes… you wonder why some of us gave up the sport bikes for dual sports. Sport bikes are great, roads are getting terrible.
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.
