been off work this week so popping over to mum and dads a fair bit

every time i get to the end of the road my village is on i turn right the bike starts to slip

first few days i put it down to being cold /having a little less pressure in the tyres

tyres were ok when tested and still had problem on this bit of road

cant see any diesel or anything the road is dirty but not muddy

killed my confidence a bit to start but can still go round any other road the same as before

also a car was on the verge today sideways so guessing it did the same thing

have reported it but nothing yet and not sure what they can do

just in case its the stoke prior lane off junction 5 m5

junction is the one that comes out on the southbound slip road Confused Wink

Can I add to you cool bro story.

If you're using the A523 from Manchester to Macclesfield then have a care for the Bollington roundabouts. In the wet they're proper sketchy.


Cheers Bro. Razz

There's was a notorious roundabout just outside Galway. My aunt, my mother and several of my mother's friends all have spun out on it on cars.

I had to visit a bike mechanic who lived nearby when I was visiting my parents, and he had spun out on it as well. He reckoned it was down to the wrong finish being put on the road, and that it had been fixed by sandblasting it.

Pah, you want to ride on Chinese nylon tyres, every road feels like it's covered in diesel when it's wet. Laughing

Same problem, only one round about - I have came to a conclusion its either diesel or catching the white lines
