was out yesterday and the bike got loose 4 times. First one I thought maybe oil from the gas station as I just filled up but three more. Definitely caused some pucker. Wondering if it was a fluke or if the tires are known for this.
Was a good rain and could not tell if the road had ponding or not.
thank s everyone.

How old are the tires? How many miles on those tires? What bike?
Stock Harley tires (from factory) or Dunlop American Elites? Some dealers sell different tires than others.
