Bloody banding

Hi all sorry if this is a little obvious. But, out yesterday late afternoon, early evening and all,s well in the cosmos. Coming out of a medium left hander and I cross a new road repair and and right on my line I run along a 6 inch wide banding. Wow that stuff is slippy, the back end slides....the old "it feels like 2 feet but in reality its 2 inches". Certainly had my sphincter twitching. As I said these repairs may be obvious to some but to all be careful out there, the dry salt free roads and a little sun can be a little too tempting.... :lol:

Absolutely, It is tempting to wind on the throttle when the Sun comes out, but plenty shite (literally) still on the roads here too.
My first scare was hitting a manhole cover mid left hand bend, I swear a bit of pish escaped :oops:
