Default Just About Bit The Big One

So I just started an afternoon joy ride and came to the first traffic light. I start making a right turn and accidently gave it too much gas after I went into second. The rear slid out (what a creepy feeling by the way) but it caught before I was about to tip over to the right. I suppose if i over compensated the counter-weight I could have done a high-side.

There were a bunch of cars at the intersection and im sure people saw what happened, they probably thought i slipped on oil. It wasnt really embarassing, kinda felt good that I kept control and rode off safely
