Slippery road mark after wet. - zirconxi_imp - 07-16-2020
My local municipal recently painted a big road mark at traffic lights stop for motorcycles. After rain, these road mark are slippery. During ride off, my rear spin and skid. Sure scare the heck out of me...
Wonder if the ingredients for these marks are not up to standard... Anyway, my tyre is a T31 manufactured early 2019, with plenty of thread left (if memory serve me right, only used for 3000km since installed), I had rode about 7km before this traffic lights, so temperature should be up.

Yes. Some road paint is very slippery for motorcycles. Your bike has a pleasant 'note'.

Crikey! When I was a teenager, I used to sneak my bike out when my parents were asleep. I used to have push it up a hill and then roll it down another to get a long way away before I started it. It was easier getting home. When I confessed years later they were (or at least pretended to be) surprised.
