So I am S/B on Rt8 today in the left lane near exit 37, wide open, side by side with a tractor trailer. We suddenly get into a little bit of icy run off from the cliffs on the right shoulder. I smash the throttle, bang her down a gear and the rear end starts to break loose. I regain my traction and ride out of it in a wheel stand!!!!
Ok, the story was 80% true, maybe not the wheel stand part!!!
Gonna snow this weekend. Cant stay off the bike any longer!!!!!!!!!
Live Fast,Ride Fast.
Little bit-o-road salt!!!!!!
LOL.....you're 65ish HP won't spin any tire in 4th gear at full chat .....but it was a nice try ! lol
I'm actually ridin mine to work and back today before the snow hits us this weekend here in Boston.
Gonna make for a wet mess for a bit, so might as well.
I gotta get it out too!
Your fault LOL
