Sorry to hear about your incident, unfortunately it seems to be something that is allowed to happen all too frequently in many rural areas. Did you get the Police involved ? Photographic or video evidence would have been good to show your insurance company.
I passed that way today and see that there are "slippery roads" signs out now.
Another dangerous practice by farmers is that of allowing farm gates to swing open on to roads, the Police take a very dim view of this and if pushed will caution the offender.
I recall a relative of mine living in Germany where the farmers had to clean the roads up when they left the fields. As a result farmers tended to scrap the mud off their tyres
before going on to the roads.
Just imagine what would have happened to a motorcyclist.
