F**k me it's slippy

[Symon27]

So after nearly 2 weeks with no rain, the heavens decided to open.
Just got back from work and its fucking slippy out there, I could feel the back wheel sliding out on almost ever conner.
And trying to pull a way from lights after filtering to the front was pretty mad.
How long will they be this slippy for?[/list]

Last time I had this happen to me was in a car a few years ago, a short shower after a long period of sun and the first roundabout I was going round I ended up almost sideways at about 20mph, so I slowed to 10-15 and still ended up sliding out the back end.... I'd hate it to happen on a bike though

Was a little scared when I saw it starting to rain this evening, luckily by the time I left it had dried up. Rain forecast for tomorrow though

Fuq.

I think I'll be taking the bike with normal tyres to work tomorrow. I'm guessing it will be extra slippy on Bridgestone R10s!

The word is "Slippery".

Noticed it in my car earlier, would have stacked it if I were on my bike.

you must have some fucking shit tyres for it not to cope in some mild drizzle.

Have you not read anything? It's not just 'drizzle', is it? Oh, fuck it, go fuck yourself, I can't be bothered to explain to your simple self.

It is very slippy! I came off my bike on Saturday night when a light mist made the roads damp.. Completely my fault! did 60 around a very large roundabout (which is not the fastest i have done it at) and low sided into a curb.

All the bike needs is a new exhaust.

But as for me, i have been in hospital all weekend after fracturing 2 vertebrae, chipping another and fracturing my pelvis in 2 places. I am extremely lucky that i wasn't paralyzed

Fuck roundabouts! fuck the slippy roads! and fuck curbs! time to get a more powerful bike
