Thats good advice on a wet or dry road. Anything painted is slick and I've seen people crash because they were riding the "lines."

A cloud was covering the upper portion of a mountain we were riding a few months ago and the higher we went he misty-er it got. We came around a corner and there was this older guy pinned on the side of the road by his "crotch rocket" CBR 1000.

He came into a corner and took a bad line and was leaning/turning while riding the center line and lost the front.

He was pretty banged up. He ended up breaking his collar bone and was initially in "shock" when we came across him. The part that stunk was he had to ride 2 up back down the mountain with the broken collar bone and the road was very tight and steep.
