Yummy diesel

[FirebladeRuss]

Well, encountered my first diesel patch on a roundabout this morning.

The roads weren't wet, so couldn't see it at all to be honest. Just as well I was only tootling round the roundabout (as usual!), because even with only a slight lean on, the back wheel tried to disappear from underneath me.

Felt it going, so quickly slapped my foot down and pushed up quickly to keep the bike upright.

Thankfully, it was just a little wobble, but it definitely gave me the willies.

Then the next roundabout just further down the road, there must've been more, as when pulling out from standstill, the rear wheel slipped a bit again (it's only a piddly 125 don't forget, so not like grabbing a handful of throttle is going to unleash hell ).

Wasn't much fun to be honest, and rode the rest of the 14 miles to work very cautiously at every corner.

If you do go through a diesel patch, does it usually take long for it to wear off your tyres?

Not fun atall. I crashed round a corner on diesel during heavy rain, on the way to my mod 1 test. I put it down to lack of experience or seeing tell tale signs, but Still passed the mod 1, but was a bit nervous. Soon as i got home, sat down for like an hour. Then couldnt walk. Severly bruised my left side and sprained my ankle. Fun times!

These lorry-driving fcukers need prison sentences when caught, they're maiming and killing people with their scumbag moron selfishness. God help one if I ever catch him red-handed.
