My biggest was probably about 6 weeks after I got my first bike (GPZ).
I was in traffic, been riding for 1/2 hour or so. But it was cold and the traffic wasn't moving too well so the tyres were still cold.
Ashappens in holland everyone suddenly did an emergency stop. I hit the brakes and the front end slides out from under me.
I let go of the brakes and the bike start to sway side to side. After what seemed an eternity, but was probably only a couple of secs, I thought I was going to hit the deck and put a foot down (Thank god for decent boots!) and that sorted it. Except I'm still doing 100kmph and everyone else has stopped.
Got the bike to a controlled stop and carried on to work shaken badley. I decided against topiing to recover as I probably wouldn't have got back on the bike!
Ever since then I've been more careful about getting the tyres warm, the condition of the tyres (they were old, dry tyres that were changed a week after the incident) and I've always been nervous with the front end - something I want to get rid of, the nerves not the front
