Fact of life here in MA as well, much worse when it's hot out and the patch tar softens.&nbsp\\; Corners are definitely dangerous, and I've even had the rear tire slip once when passing a car and under heavy throttle.....scared the sh*t out of me.

 

Tar strips are an accident waiting to happen.&nbsp\\; Hot or wet I've come close to going down if I hit them.&nbsp\\; If you can't miss them slow down and hit them as square as possible.&nbsp\\; The straighter the bike the safer you will be.&nbsp\\; And the WADOT don't care about them and bike safety around here!!!

 

Thanks Guys ...never thought of it before now I can add Tar Snakes to my list of things to worry about.

 

they get real sippery when wet ride safe
