Good evening my fellow motorcyclists! It has been raining all afternoon and evening here in San Diego. On my way home I noticed the first signs of oil and other fluids being lifted off the road and churned up by passing cars. Do you know what to look for? Yep, the oil mixes with water and forms white bubbles or froth. This is one of the most dangerous situation if you are riding in the rain. Seeing white froth in the run-off instead of just water means the accumulated oil, fluid and gunk hasn't washed away. This is one of the time the roads are their slickest. The other time is road paint once it gets wet or oily.
Got experience with either of these dangers, or other tips to share? Feel free to comment, and ride safe.
