Slippery man hole covers?

Is this a gay thread?

Yes.
I have a Honda, you have a Honda.
Let's go bump some man hole covers

[Yow Ling]

What do they do with them at the street races, Paeroa etc?

At Methven Street races they mark them with dazzle paint. You can ride over , under or around your choice

sounds like a test for your leathers

Will post links when I find them but the UK AA has a special pot hole filling high grip substance and there are some new grippy MH covers coming out over there (non steel and nick proof).

They don't really bother me these days especially after London DRing, well down the list after old ladies, prams and tourists. Mind you wet muddy cobble stones with tram lines can prove interesting.

First thing I thought of when I saw this thread was my first ride through Amsterdam, totally lost in the rain & Alston village cobbles littered with slush. Their are hazards & their are hazards.

Arghhh. I really HAVE to get to Amsterdam some stage soon. A few hazards I need to investigate.

After the terror of finding your digs & parking the bike up it's a great place to unwind & totally forget where you parked your bike in the first place.

If you think manhole covers are slippery, try riding on wet pavingstones the Europeans like to use in residential areas......
The solution is easy, drive a car.

Since the earthquake the manholes in Christchurch have become jumps!
