Road Repair

[seatmaker]

What's with that recycled tire / rubber / junk that they use to fill cracks in the road? I about spun out on a curve on the ride home today in the rain. When wet the road patch is as slick as ice. Obviously who ever invented this crap was not a biker. Wondering how many other states use this poor method of road repair?

Pig Pen and I seen them doing that road repair on 94 today on our way to Novi...that shit does look slick...especially wet:bang:

Virginia does it. Hot tar in the asphalt crack = slick ass spot in that road.:bang:

I hate to state the blatantly obvious, but move south and you guys won`t have to deal with that kind of problem. Here in the south we ride all year and the roads don`t have any ice related cracking beating the hell out of the pavment, also the climate allows the women to wear less clothing, (always a benefit), and by-the-way did I mention the women, the beautiful women?!
Oh yeah, I always mention the beautiful southern Women for they know to gravitate to the warmer regions. God Bless Them!
Take care.

Tar is used here in Washington State for cracks too.

It's used ALL over the south too...... but mostly on the interstates. Oh and Tomchop is correct about da wemon!!!!!!!

And when it is HOT, them Tar Snakes get soft and slippery also.
