 Posted: 19:12 - 28 Nov 2013 Post subject: dodgy bit of road |
 |
|
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  ____________________ gilera runner vxr200 (chavped)

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.

If there's a garage nearby, some a-hole will have overfilled and spilt diesel somewhere nearby - usually the nearest roundabout or bend. I blame the mini-cab drivers One of my neighbours cars is pissing out what looks like every fluid it has - I've mentioned it to him and the fact that his tyres spend the night sitting in diesel, (after which he drives his 6 kids to school with it in the morning), and he thinks it's funny. I wonder how funny it would be if I flicked a fag end under there 'Could be really funny. ____________________ Space Is Deep |

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. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

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