But saved it like a boss. .
Downward sharp bend, max 20mph but got that "oh, shit" feeling when you have no feedback through the bars. You know, the almost Jedi sensation of impending failure.
Bars went full lock to the right side, as I continued on straight. Remember kids, don't apply any brake. Saved it and gave myself a high five. At the bottom of the hill it really was like sheet ice, both feet down and rear wheel spinning on the smallest amount of power. On the way back it was getting worse, just walked through the door and slipped coming into my drive.
Winter innit'. |

Wank, isn't it? It's that special time of year when the hundred yards at either end of my commute becomes sphincter-clenching, feet-down slapstick.
I can't fault the weather protection on the ped, but I'm having regrets about not scoring an XT 225 when I had the chance - I'd actually be safer cutting across country to reach the main road.
Hang on... I have an "adventure" bike...  ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Horrible wet leaves around, although it is to be expected first ride out on my new bike today. Damn that was butt clenching for quite a while on corners. Still in one piece though  ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS
