No, too much chance of there being diesel fuel on the road surface.

Not to mention other traffic that might be leaving those diesel fuel deposits..... |

Happened to me.... Close to it when I was younger and invincible and then I started thinking about the laws of physics and gravity and fuel tanks and missing fuel caps |

Went down as soon as I hit the Diesel fuel @ 50MPH. Tried to stay on top of the bike while she slid down the entrance ramp, then fell off when my shoulder came out of socket. Watched as sparks were shooting off the engine guards and me laying on the pavement while the morning commuters drove around me then the bike...  Still rode to work. Boss saw me walk in all bloodied and shredded jeans. He didn't say a word...  |

What's a "Clover Leaf". Oh, yeah one of the controlled access things on some highways to help you change roads. Never had a chance to play on them. nearest Controlled Access road of over 90 miles away. Rats.

I hear they do it in Kansas all the time. They are the only curves in the state. |
