Black ice is so named because the ice forms such a thin layer that it can't be seen even on the black asphalt. It builds everywhere, but especially on bridges.

The edges of the road collect the most gravel, sand, and debris. Winds and the tires of fast-moving vehicles send the gravel, sand, and debris to the side. Motorcyclists should steer clear of road edges when entering or leaving a freeway or when making turns at intersections.

Tires are just one of the controls that must be inspected regularly to ensure safety when driving a motorcycle. It is important to inspect these parts because motorcyclists are at greater risk if breakdown occurs.
