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.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.
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.
