If you’re looking for your bike, the Michigan Department of Transportation has it, and is waiting for you to come pick it up. MDOT’s Facebook page says, “The motorcycle in question entered a closed lane on I-69 in #ClintonCounty and crashed after hitting a freshly poured longitudinal patch on Aug. 20. No injuries reported.”

Also this:

“Did you lose a motorcycle yesterday driving on I-69 in #ClintonCounty? Remember to always drive safely in work zones and do not use closed lanes to pass slowed traffic – you never know where concrete might be curing.

“You can pick your bike up at the impound, where the police will be waiting.”

That’s going to need a pretty serious pressure washer, looks like…
