As a rider who has done a great deal of riding over the last 30+ years, the only place that oil is a major concern for motorcyclists today are metal surfaces and toll booths after or during a rain. At toll booths cars and trucks are centered in a tight spot, then stop and go. After a rain these spots can be slick.

I doubt too many long-time riders with serious miles behind them hug either side of the road - that's simply not smart.
