Pro tip: Don’t ride into wet concrete

A MICHIGAN Kawasaki ZX-10R rider has discovered that despite painting his bike in tribute to a Stealth fighter he can’t ride undetected straight through roadworks - particularly when those roadworks involve a large amount of freshly-poured concrete.

Michigan’s Department of Transportation tweeted pictures of the aftermath, showing a deep canyon carved in the concrete road surface in a work zone on the I-69. The unfortunate Kawasaki is also pictured, caked in drying cement; it’s going to be a fun job getting all that off.

Did you lose a motorcycle today, driving on I-69? Always drive safely, and watch out for construction zones. Sometimes you don't see workers or curing concrete. You can pick your bike up at impound, the Sheriff will be waiting. pic.twitter.com/spj49ounrQ

But it seems the bike’s owner is nowhere to be found. The tweet accompanying the pictures says:
