I agree about the tar snakes. I was in the twisties on the way to Amicalola Falls today and the road was nothing but a mass of tar snakes. Seems like the snakes were in every curve and my front tire was following each and every one of them. There was definately some white-knuckle moments.

I hit some on the road to Laughlin near the Parker Dam. What a nasty little road.

Try Metzler 880's next tire change and your front tire will follow snakes no more

They just snaked up my favorite little twistie near here. WOW, what a ride, major sphincter factor. BTW rain seems to cool the tar and harden it, less of a problem here when it's wet.
