Damp Roads + Cool Tyres + Torquey Motor = Wahay!

I pulled away from some lights yesterday, turning left onto a dual carriage way, aiming to take the R/H lane in order to overtake the car that had been in front of me at the lights, and SIDEWAYS!! :shock: :o My bro-in-law was behind me and he said I was fairly leant over, and the back came out a looong way - and it certainly felt it.

I just wish I knew whether I truly saved it, or whether it sorted itself out. I know it went due to being on the throttle and not just a diesel spill, I know I was weighting the outside peg, and I know I didn't panic. So, perhaps the answer is a combination of the two? We'll never know, but it made me grin anyway! :twisted:

Oh well, at least it gave us something to talk about seeing as we were out to test the just fitted Autocom with bike to bike. :lol:

You didn't take a tumble? Always err on the side of ego - you saved it :wink: .

Nice quote, yes YOU saved it. You now have 8 lives left...

Yup, shiny* side up :D Cheers. I guess it'll only be really 8) when I can do it on demand! :roll: :wink:

LOL @ the 8 lives.

*Hah! Not with the amount of cr@p on the roads now! :(

Hiya Lee. I did say it made me grin! :D

So was that kiddie this week? Sounds like a real :shock: moment! Kudos for managing to save a front lock-up AND avoid that kid!
