especially when wet.  Dry leaves I have no issues with, but they usually blow away unlike wet, slippery leaves.

Leaves can be like gravel on the corners,  not good.   Rubber tar snakes are not fun either on corners sort of like an oh _hit moment for a split second until the front tire regains composure on regular pavement.

Man,  the leaves are really coming down in 15-20 mph higher winds today, but those darn maple trees seem to always be the LAST to go well into November.

And when they cut their grass in this neck of the forest they blow it onto the roadway!  uglystupid2 AND in a month or so here the dark corners MAY be icy!  Lips Sealed RIDE SAFE.

Been sideways on a road just like that.

It doesn't matter how good your tires are.  Never give up. 

It's a good thing that car was coming the other way...... it motivated me into getting back on my side of the road.  Missed him by inches. 

Winston Churchill said there was nothing so exhilarating as being shot at without result.

I don't know..... going sideways on wet leaves and missing a car by inches is pretty exhilarating too.   crazy2
