Im writing a story and in it someone has a minor accident on a motorcycle, but since i know nothin about motorcycles im just wondering wbich if the folllowing could happen:Rock caught in wheel, rider loses control of bikeBike slips on water? Rider falls offWheels skid on oil/gas, rider loses balance and falls off?Thanks:)
I have never had or heard of a rock in a wheel that caused a crash (at least for on-road bikes). An experienced rider would know that water, in the form of rain or standing water, means reduced grip and should not really get caught out, although it happens. Diesel can be spilled, often from an overfilled tank and often where a van or truck is turning – also the worst point for a motorcycle since they are already on reduced grip while leaning. It is also difficult to spot on the road surface – smell is often the best indicator.
a motorcycle front wheel can hit a 10 or 20 lb rock and crash easily while in a corner, water especially heavy rain will make you religious and praying for an overpass any over pass heavy rain is blinding, you have to stop. . another big problem are railroad crossings, particularly when wet, and those metal bridge decks that are see through for light weight? water, and a steel bridge deck with wet tires will have the bike drop you on your face If you are on a motorcycle and hit a plastic trash can at 55 the bike stops, the rider goes right over the handle bars with no warning, its over in the blink of an eye. Motorcycle have hit empty soda bottles going into a hard corner and dumped the bike, so any object can wipe a bike out by hitting the front wheel at a critical time along with wet paint stripes I put my foot down in a puddle of oil at a stop sign and slowly slid over intil I landed on the pavement looking goofy.
The last is the most likely one. Rocks don't get caught in the wheel. (and if you hit a big one, you deserve to go down) I ride in the rain all the time. Water is not a problem. While traction is reduced, motorcycle tires do not hydroplane like car tires. Oil often found in intersections where the cars sit and drip.
