Every year the muppets from Fulton Hogan ( and others) reseal our road with crap coarse chip. Every year even before they have had a chance to remove their signs the surface begins to fail with pot holes forming. Also they tend to leave lots of loose chip all over the road; I think their plan is it slows the cars down? Council regs are they must sweep the road within 4 days of completing their work so far 2 months later they have "swept" it at least 3 times ; but they seem unable to remove the loose chip in corners, between the wheel tacks and on the centre line; exactly where we motorcylists tend to ride.Yesterday I came across a new "challenge"  for us two wheel pushers. The roading contractors are "having a problem" with tar surfacing and creating slick spots that are very slippery. Out the back of Taupaki  they have come up with a seriously half baked solution which leaves two strips where the tar has been stripped out.  Problem is these strips are about 300 mm wide and do not deal with the whole "patch" so: if you are on the strip you are fine - if not and its wet say hello to the hedge. With all the noise being made about safety on Motorcycles is there not some obligation on the councils & NZTA  to provide a  consistent reasonably safe surface??
