Oh dang I almost had a nasty spill on the choppa.

I went to see what new foolishness our own Switchblade Teeth is bringing to our world earlier on today. It WAS a nice day so I thought I'd take the choppa for a spin. On my way home, all of a sudden, the skies opened up and it poured. I said to hell with this and pulled over at a gas station, got $1.50 of 93 octane, some Planter's Spicy Hot P-Nuts and a Diet Dr.Pepper. It eventually stopped raining but the roads were still wet. So I thought I'll go on ever so slowly. No front fender means you get a rooster tail of hot water right in your ugly mug.
I was going home via the Aloma curves in Winter Park, these are nasty sons of a bitches even in the dry. Anyways I'm looking at the road surface and it appears as if there's soapy water everywhere and I get scared. I have no clue what this stuff was.
I was almost through the bends when I was slowing down for the lights and the bike just started fishtailing. I got her under control but I was friggin scared man.

I was so happy to be alive that when I finally hit dry non soapy road I let her rip.

Life is fun, I guess!

 

Holy Hell man...glad you are alright. Wouldn't that suck to think that I would have been the last person you had seen ? Anyways glad you survived another near mishap!

 

Yeah Justin, you would've been the last friend I talked to.
Sorry about yelling at you, I didn't know shit at your age either. Any advice you need just ask.

 

hat on the bed?

 

Nice that you're still here, Dude!

I rember gettin caught in a sudden downpour on my old KZ1000...it's always slickest when the rain first starts! I hit some Super Slippery shit going into an intersection with cars all around me, I thought that was It for sure! I fishtailed and wobbled through the intersection trying not to make any REAL sudden moves...ended up dancing through the light as it was turning red and making a play for the sidewalk!

Up onto the walk with it's rougher texture, the tires took a bite and I was OUTTA there...heart pounding and eyes wide open...motored home and stashed the bike without a scratch on me OR the scoot!

Fun, ain't it?!

 

No problem Nads, I would rather get yelled at and learn something then to not get yelled at and fuck more shit up.
