I dropped my motard on muddy roadworks on Akaroa hill a few weeks back. Entirely my fault for not reading the road surface properly nor giving the slippery mud the respect it needed. Luckily motards crash well and me and bike got away with a few scratches. Since then we have had the big snow and rain.....and grit. Even though it has been swept it is still there but hard to see. Yesterday there was lots of "hidden" suprises on the Akaroa run. I have heard of at least one crash-on utube too now[search mrcornerslut the crash]-because of the grit. The wife and I were walking near the top of Dyers pass yesterday arvo, when a Kawa 250 tucked his front in grit right in front of us. Brand new bike too, i think. So, dont trust the road and be extra careful at the moment.
