Hamilton riders or those passing through, make sure you survive the BK roundabout, the road is covered in diesel .....

Lack of rain in the last 10 days and a few pain in the a$$ showers today have made this a slick......

Put the cage in to a slide here this afternoon.

Keep the rubber side down......

Indeed Colapop.

It is, however, one of the roundabouts on the heavy traffic route (another is the one ZeroIndex arsed off at on Greenwood Rd) so the bloody thing gets a lot of diesel on it. But recently conditions have been farken atrocious around there.

Thanx for the Heads-up T, another one to watch later this week with the cold snap on the way is the Cobham drive lights as you come down from the Hospital towards the river, is DYNAMITE in the frost, plus all the usual busy road slick shit underneath, me and a workmate have both had a couple of slides there on the way to work in the last week.
