How to ruin perfectly good curvy roads

Sometimes the slow mover will move to the right or use a turnout for you. One thing that does scare me is: On some of our very local twisties, Turnbull Cyn Rd, which run thru some hills with houses, someone has laid down what appears to be used motor oil in the turns, and I've also seen sand scattered over curves. It's the locals, tired of the early morning crotch-rocket crowd buzzing thru there. When I ride twisties, I ride The Pace, which is finding a good average speed and staying in the same gear all the time and using only engine braking, almost never touching the brakes.

Angry geez that's bad.

Saw that done once down on the Dragon in N.C. where someone poured oil on a sharp right hand curve. Ended up it was a local tired of being passed by sportbikes passing him on the double yellow.

Another hazard from today's ride:

How about a trailer full of split firewood looking like it would fall off any second (none did )
