A few weeks back I was driving a stretch of road I know like the back of my hand, there are a group of corners which when dry are fine, coming round the first one I could see a car just going round the second bend, so started to slow, came up to the second corner and relised that the car was pulling into a lane, lifted off the rear stepped out but I caught it and just planted to pedal.
Great fun when you know how to control it, but it is very easy for it all to go wrong. At least you got out of it ok.
