It happened to me last night on the way home from work. Having a bit of a play on the back roads. My favourite bend came up, and mid leanĀ :eek :eek :eekĀ Fresh Farmers mud about an inch thick across the whole lane!!! (it wasn't there 10 hours earlier on the way in!)
Needless to say I sh@ myself as the front end slid wide and it all shook up and shimmy'd round the bend. I think that keeping the throttle applied, and not tensing up helped save the bike (and me) this time. A phonecall to the council will have this bugger sorted!
As for our scenario Simonm. If what you did works, and you survived it, learn from it bud. Some damned good advice from the guys above.
Even more from these guys. Twist of the Wrist II A twist of the wrist II. Best cornering advice a biker could ever get!
