    Bloody pissed down on the way home,And i nearly got my new harley. Came up to a roundabout taking it easy doin a right hand turn and it nearly went down on me, I know i wasn't going to fast , But i could of being going a little slow, I had a truck in front of me. It felt like the front tire slid to the left. This roundabout is near the tip entrance @ W.Bee so it cops alot of trucks and is very slippery, I did have fun when i had my Statesman though.

    Had that on my Honda V-Twin... A roundabout at night after rain, slowing for due process of approaching a roundabout and the fucker slides left from under me. A dinged knee and some minor hand grazes... it was more that it was embarrassing - at 20km/h or so. Positive I didn't even finger the front brake too. Gives you the freakin shits. I always hear my bike instructors bellowing 'look up' when I think about it... I ensure now ride around looking at the stars lmao.

    Glad you stayed up all the same. This rain has set in - your poor chromey bits!!

    It scares the shits out of you when it happens, which i found out in the rain and hit the painted white arrows on a round about. I hate the rain for this reason and because it always seems to happen after you give your bike a really good polish.

    Check your front tyre pressure it may be a bit over inflated...just a thought.

    Diesel is a bitch because you can't see it on the road.

    The opposite of looking down :)

    It helped my ice hockey career out a heap too... both in skating and not getting smashed...
