Wet leaves on curves - those are hell for motorcycles.

And I recall an uphill curve on a narrow principal street in Berkeley that needed some throttle to climb the grade. But in the middle of the curve there was a worn shiny manhole cover. First rain, it was like glare ice. Spooky on a motorcycle.
There's a spot in winter park Florida at a train crossing. This intersection was a T with enough room for a vehicle to be at the intersection and not be on the tracks.

The pavement was jacked up in that spot on the T side. Some Some genius put in a steel road plate instead of fixing the pavement.

You had to watch it coming over the tracks. If someone stopped suddenly in front of you and you were on the plate, you slid until you hit the pavement.

We had a pacer , no trouble with sliding out in that slow beast.

My father at one point bought a v8, it was a small chevy monza.
Loved racing people as they all were sure it had a slow 4 cylinder.
The surprised look on their faces as we went flying by.

That car was so heavy in front, from a standstill could do a donut just by hitting the gas.
We did not drive it in the snow or rain, could barely stick to asphalt.

Had to replace the wishbones up front and motor mounts a few times as they were not made to handle the engine weight and torque. It was the California version with supposedly 140 HP.

It was an awful off white, not the same but close to this:

My step-dad had one with the V8. I had the Pontiac version with the 4 cylinder.

There was a huge difference in performance between the two

Almost forgot.
Mine had the Levi's interior.
In the day I had Levi's shoes, pants, shirts, jackets, belts and a car.
Talk aboot hungup on denim.:ROFLMAO:
So did mine, it wore surprisingly well. The blue jean waist button was an attention getter.

They still had accidents then. Chains and studded tires were also used.
I still use studded radial snow tires and have chains available on 4x4 and/or awd.
