We have a bunch of sand still on our roads from all of the ice storms recently. There have been way too many riders go down here, where I live and some have paid with their lives. One poor guy on a Wing hit some of the sand on a highway bridge and went over the side, without the bike. Another guy on a Wing got broadsided by an 18-wheeler on I-20 and couldn't get control because of the sand. Neither of these guys will ever ride again (RIP).
Another rider on a hog went down in front of me Saturday for the same reason, luckily he was able to get up and I helped him get the bike vertical. A guy that I work with was telling me today about a rider he witnessed go down Sunday. There is no telling how many unreported layovers have happened here recently.
I am riding like Grandma everywhere I go. For anyone riding to North Texas, be careful, at least until we get a good rain to wash the sand away.
UPDATE:
As luck would have it, it is raining big time today, so please put this thread to rest.
