It helps to keep tire pressure correct, I notice my bike is worse on tar snakes when the tires need air - I check them about once a week usually.

Yeh wet white lines and metal bridge surfaces are also no fun. I also hate when lane surfaces are uneven - sometimes the tires get caught in the dips when changing lanes.

 

Hate tar snakes and crappy roads! All tho my CVO King seems to handle it better then my Fatboy did..

 

 

To me at least tar snakes are nothing. It's the dam uneven lips on road surface where they've done a "repair" that runs the same direction as traffic. Also gotta give a shout out to the inner belt 170 in st Louis that has a place where there's a bout 4 inch construction beam that runs at a bout 45 degree angle to the direction youre travelling in a spot in the road where you are in a slight corner. That **** caught my attention once and every other time I weaved into a different angle of attack within my lane. That was bout 15 yrs ago. Hoped they fixed it.
