It was in a dark part of the road at night and when I looked back it looked like there was some sort of shimmer in the road like some spilt oil or diesel was down but hard to see. I'm glad you saved it too though! I wouldn't want to pull stunts like that on something heavier than a 600. I also saved a nasty high side last year coming off a roundabout in the wet with my dad following, he came past after shaking his head with the "lucky sod... well played don't do it again" look. Traction control, ABS etc. just weighs you down!
don't forget your dislike for a humpback bridge or whatever it was with a car coming the other way...didn't you injure yourself there? :evil
yeh I came flying round a corner on a freezing cold day and there was a couple of cars going slow as foc and I approached them too quick.....on with the front...a bit more......and more and then oops lock up ....cue me wobbling around in some old wifes mirrors and stubbing my toe

I've done some heavy braking on the thou but never felt nearly as close to locking as I did with those blue spots....they're a good brake fair play.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
