Grass, and grass clippings, are about 85 percent water. And it doesn’t matter if those clippings are wet or dry when they’re in the street, they can be a danger to motorcyclists. When grass clippings come between a motorcycle’s tires and the pavement, bad things happen. Especially on curves, a motorcyclist needs a contact patch between the tires and the asphalt. You may have never thought about it, but grass clippings can act as a sheet of ice—in the middle of the summer. Motorcyclists may have to take safety measures to avoid wrecking. They may be forced to quickly slow down, switch lanes, or cross over a double yellow line to avoid grass clippings. Please ensure that you are not blowing grass into the street or highway. I'm asking all my friends and followers share this as a reminder to help our motorcycle community safely.
