Oops... I'm sorry, it's a new FJR, Yamaha's big sport-touring bike. Big 1300 (or so) cc four, water cooled, fuel injected, 145-ish hp... Darn fast for such a big bike.
Yeah, the black ice is a particular concern around here. We will typically hit the dew point in the evening, then sub freezing temps later at night. We get such heavy dew that there can be enough to well and truly ice over a road, without any precipitation at all. So I only go on very well-travelled roads, and wait a bit until later in the day when they have had some traffic and sun on them.
When it stays sub-freezing throughout the day, we don't have that dew point issue. Then, if it's been dry long enough, our roads will be perfectly safe under those conditions.
