Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

More of a brown trouser moment than a gripe. I was riding the VFR along a single track road near Llangollen towards an old mine called Worlds End.
Up ahead the road does a sharp left turn uphill and crosses a shallow ford at the same time. Not a problem thought I until entered the ford, the rocks were as smooth and as slippery as hell, it was like driving on sheet ice.
I daren't brake, turn or touch the gas but managed to get across, turned and keeping enough momentum to get up the rise as well, coming to a rest against a grass bank on opposite side of the road. Phew..

Treated myself to pie and chips in the Ponderosa and had a chat with a one legged SV rider from Stoke.

Then got caught in a downpour coming home.
