Sportbike Ride Sand on the Road

Riders must constantly watch out for road hazards that effect traction or could otherwise find themselves in an accident very quickly. Usually sand on the road does not bother a car that much at all because 3 other tires still have traction. Motorcycles are very sensitive to traction issues as shown in the following video.

At 0:25 and especially at 0:40 my son almost slid out into a high side accident because the rear wheel got very squirrelly in the sand on the road. Hitting sand while the bike is leaned over is a killer because the road friction or traction is keeping the rear tire from sliding out. Thanks for watching and enjoy your ride!
