Let's just say I had an INTERESTING ride today

[Dag]

More like a riding skills test 
During the winter the roads are "feeded" with 4% salt and 96% fine gravel.
It has been raining the last week, so the salt has been washed away, but still some of the fine gravel left by the roadside.
OK... in a sharp left turn at 60 mph the rear wheel started to slip. The road is pretty much dosed, so the rain had washed the fine gravel that lay by the roadside on the roadway.
I got a decent skidding which suddenly ceased when the rear wheel had traction again. This happened so fast that it was my reflex movements that saved me from getting an "unplanned meeting" with the forest.
It ended well, and I have one more experience in my luggage. 

(sorry about my English, as you know it`s not my mother language)

You speak better English than 95% of the people here in the great state of Tennessee!

[R J]

Agree with JimL on the %, but that should read all of the US of A instead of just Tennessee.     Our population here in Iowa has just about doubled in all the big cities.   Not at the College towns however,

Good recovery Dag, those high side flip offs can and do smart some.

Glad ya not all skinned up from it.....  Keep the rubber (dirty) side down brother.......

Heard on the news today that a bike went off the road exactly the same place today.
The rider was sent to the hospital.
Maybe I should go there and brush the gravel off the road before someone get killed.

[Dag]

I took my car and drove over to take a look. The bike, a Magna was totaled.
I brushed the road, so there are no gravel left now. I should have done that yesterday ...

[Big Rig]

Good on ya Dag....

Ride safe....

[alph]

good job Dag.

i'm sure i'll never drive that road, but if i did, i'd apreciate it.

[RoadKill]

 I give a round of Applause to Dag for his efforts and his humanitarianism.... I'm pleased to know that there are a few good people still around.      Thank you Dag

[Dag]

After I got skidding into the turn, I went with a bad conscience, given that it was likely that others would experience the same. Actually it was my duty to do something about it before it someone got hurt. I should have cleared up the day before, than I would have probably saved the man who drove off the road a lot of pain.

[Spirited-6]

That`s part of our "problem" in our World today. People thinking only of them selfs. Great job and thoughts Dag.

hehe, Dag, we are too much alike...  yesterday coming back from lunch, a Lexus auto was stopped in the left hand lane, with blinker on to get into the middle lane.  There was a traffic cone in the middle of the left lane and she was just going around it...  I stopped the bike, got off, and moved the orange cone into the median, out of the traffic lanes. 

Doctors coming out of the medical center will not run over a rubber cone with their cars!

Hay
