Hey guys I wanted to put up a post about what happened to me yesterday so yall dont run into my problem. I was riding home last night and the road just got fresh paint lines on white and yellow... I went to pass someone and I woa... it was plenty dry but still scared me proficiently haha just some heads up yall take care and ride safe

 

Old or new, paint in the road will change the available traction significantly. Philly has overdone the whole crosswalk lines so every corner I take is much easier than I can normally do.

Or traction control starts flashing like it's Christmas

 

I don't understand why they don't add a bag of sand to the paint.

 

Happened to me on older paint when it was about 50 degrees out. Spun the rear tire and I rode it out sideways for a bit. I've been on enough mountain bikes and dirt bikes so it was natural, but after the fact I said "well that was interesting" haha

 

New paint, old paint, don't matter.....stay off it all.

 

I was riding my 900ss in the rain recently, greasy roads following a dry spell,, got forced onto a white line and the whole bike squirmed like I had ridden onto ball bearings, this was riding in a straight line, not accelerating etc, reasonably new corsas fitted, unbelievable just how little grip there can be on road markings.
