 |  Almost Dropped my new bike....
UGH! Ok, if your car is leaking oil, for gods sake, GET THE HELL off the road... Ok, now that I got that out, and know damn good and well it will never happen...I'll explain.. I was crusing upto a stoplight at about 10 or so miles an hour...and hit a huge, and I mean HUGE puddle of oil. I saw it and thought it was a patch in the road, but it turns out it was a pothole, filled with oil...... I only use my back breaks at really low speed coasting up to lights and what not, which worked out well this time...as the rear end spun sideways and I made up for it by turning the wheel and straitning out.. I think if I would have used my front break, I would have surely dropped it... Thankfully I am modestly strong and by brute force alone held the bike up... "big sigh of releif" |
