Almost dumped the bike

[Jethroish]

Just want to share this experiece with all.

 

Coming home from work yesterday, I had an "Oh S**t!" moment.

When I turned onto the freeway entrance ramp, I thought to myself, "Looks a little bit greasy." Next thing I know, I feel the rear tire sliding out as I am leaning.

Out of natural reaction, without even thinking, I put my left foot out to catch myself. LUCKILY I was only going about 20mph, although it was still fast enough to kick my foot back at me.

Fortunately, it was enough to keep me upright and uninjured.

Going down would have been bad enough, but the moron in his pickup behind me was pretty close.

Close call, watch out for the fast food places! as they carry there oil to dump out back and spill it about every time. I know of at least one post where one of our venture riders slid down because of this. Grrrrrrr..Gravel is my downfall ouch it hurts.....Ken

Yikes!

 

That would get you to pucker up!

 

Glad you were able to keep the rubber side down.
