Default oil puddles

just about lost it today. I know better than to ride in the center of a lane, but I did today while getting off the interstate. had a green light and started my wide turn when she started sliding away on me. managed to straighten up and kept from going down. So, watch them oil spots!

Be careful out there, I went into a sweeper one day and there was coolant on the road.
Caught the rear end just in time.

I stopped at a toll booth a few weeks ago and was afraid to put my right foot down, it looked like the oil was packed down an inch thick. It made me wonder if you fell over how you would ever pick it back up..
