Sorry to hear about your "mishap"-at least you are unhurt!
November temperatures, less than perfect tyres, road grit(nowadays mixed with urea which makes it more "sticky-supposedly to help rock salt stay on road surface longer-but disastrous for us motorcyclists as the slightest moisture in the air turns it greasy, poorly maintained surface, adverse camber, the possibilities are endless but motorcyclists are a minority & rate less attention than pedal cyclists in the pecking order :'( . Didn't notice/smell any spilt diesel by any chance?- poorly fitting lorry fuel caps coupled with fuel surge on roundabouts! :eek
