This is a very valid point, not just for motorcyclists but also for cars.
Grip in cold conditions is important, and there are also interesting tradeoffs between noise, tire wear, and traction.
- hobs 11y agoI see a bunch of people crabbing about motorcycles and how they shouldnt stop us from choosing a more slick road surface. A slicker road surface is not a good idea in many places, see something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp2sqrfGSPI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp2sqrfGSPI where cars are slipping and sliding down a hill covered in ice.
- mulletbum 11y agoPeople driving inappropriate for weather conditions should not be a factor in our decision making. If anything it just proves that we should work harder to stop drivers who are obviously incapable of determining appropriate driving procedures for current weather conditions. There will be the day when if you have a self driving car and you get in an accident with someone who is not in one, the manual driver will always receive the ticket. Just like in fender benders with the person who is in back.
