Tar snakes are about as bad as grass clippings or pine needles on the road to me. (lemmy.ml)

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?

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.
