That stuff they add to the salt makes for slippery conditions for
motorcyclists. Glad to know that the Highways are looking after ALL their customers. Nervous greetings, Steve richards Can't wait for Spring. Dry roads, warm tyres. |

If it's slippy for one set of rubber on tarmac why isn't it slippy for all rubber on tarmac? Of course a lot of bike tyres are not designed for use on snow or ice, indeed some only pay half an eye to dealing with damp let alone wet... -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |
