Actually, Rich, I'm half English, half Dutch. But I digress...
In the past, the roads around here have been fine, hence my surprise. I suspect my ancient tyres didn't help, and mea culpa for not getting those sorted sooner. That's pretty high on the list now...
Just out of interest since no one has yet asked, what speeds were you doing?

I'd been overcooking it on the straight, probably went into the first corner at 80kms (that's 10 faster than the posted speed for that slip road), and I suspect I was down to 50kms when I lost the back end. I wasn't going fast at all...
