Road Condition Trifecta
Rail road tracks, dirt (construction site), and traffic signal all at same time almost took me out when I was doing my midnight cruise. Just as I was approaching the tracks the traffic signal just on the other side turned red. Not wanting to hit brakes on crossing (type with the rubber/plastic stuff between the tracks) Decided to cross then apply brakes. What I did not know was there was at least an inch of dirt was in the road. I skidded at least 50ft and Gods angel brought the bike to a stop just at edge of intersection in a cloud of dust.
Figured I would tell you since I sure as heck cant tell the wife!!!

I stopped telling my wife about stuff like that when she said .... 'You keep on having close calls you're gonna sell that Harley."

I skidded one evening after a teenage girl went thru a stop sign and came at me. Of course she sees me bearing down at her and thn panic stops in the middle of the intersection rather than jut blasting through. I veered away and the floorboard clipped her door. That was it..l thank God!
