Greasy Rides

Ridden on some pretty greasy mornings - sometimes with added fog - and scattered leaves.
I have to trust my tires - but then I also make of point of not challenging their adhesion, or the ABS - when braking or cornering!


Have to factor in the HP of the scoot as well -
For instance the Burgman 400.... To avoid clutch glazing one must be brisk with the throttle on take-offs. Do not be brisk if also turning a corner from a stop!

Still exploring the Piaggio's wet grip on greasy streets - but again, I am not challenging them!
Image

The smooth Forza 300 had a nice balance of weight to power that was easy to ride in the wet.

The LIKE200i benefits from a set of Michelins.

I love the last one. It is saying something, like the beginning of a story.

"Our story begins on a lonely, winding, leaf strewn road. It was foggy that morning, and the leaves stuck to the road like abandoned travelers left to wander the road forever."

Yep, that last one is the Blue Ribbon Winner! Art Gallery entry perhaps? Just sayin'

Did you ever watch the TV drama series called "Once Upon a Time?" It aired last in 2018.
Your photo would fit right into their theme of forest images....smoke filled misty eerie roads and pathways not traveled. Such as this...

Leave those greasy rides for french fries (with coffee?), onion rings (with coffee?), fried fish (someone say Fish? :lol: ) (with coffee? YES!), etc.
Right up your alley :lol: (see pic 3)
