Watch the road conditions people!!

[JayR]

As above people take it into consideration!!!

It wasnt wet but pretty sure i mustve hit some ice!!!

In normal conditions i wouldnt have been pushing my luck on this roundabout as i wernt going round it major fast and this particular roundabout (a big island like one) as it leads on to our local dual has been done many times at faster speeds!!!

Anyway coming off it late last night being followed by a mate and the back end started to go so i did no more and tried steering out of it so it didnt totally go and well this led to me spinning a few times and ending up in the middle of the dual facing in the wrong direction...sh*t ya pants moment for my passenger but i stayed totally calm but cant stop thinking about what couldve happened to us and the car if i hadnt got lucky and ended where i did!!!

Its totally made me think about conditions now!!!

Cheers

I learnt my lesson Friday night lol

 

[MikeC]

The road i live in is a cul-de-sac, there was a covering of extremely slippery sleet. Had to roll my bike out the garage onto this and ride off. Never been so sacred on the road! One false move or a little slip caused by me losing my footing and the bike would have been on its side!

Do people just ignore the digital temperature gauge these days?

ive had the 182 crossed up a few times on roundabouts in the last few weeks. Its greasy as fook or icey pretty much 99% of the time.

 

[JayR]

I know its not good out there at the moment!!!

What happened to you Ronin???

 

[MikeC]

I dont have one on my bike . But if I cant feel my fingers after 5 mins of riding, I know its cold enought o be icy lol

 

[Kelly]

Not you lol - my dad has the same problem, he bought a cheapo Honda 450 to use to get to work in the winter now tho instead of the Blackbird. Doesnt matter so much if that gets damaged...
