Phew!
Had to do an emergency stop on dual carriageway on commute home tonight :eek
Probably doin 65 when I have to slam on the anchors . . . only to have the back end slide out to the right on me!
I'm going to hit the rear end of white van man side on, the rear wheel's locked and I'm panicking- came off the rear
brake, I think I did?!? Bike starts to fishtail, back on the brakes and I managed to stop about 2ft and at an angle of
45 degrees from the back of this transit. Limped home and changed underpants. :rollin
Thank god it was dry, anyway :o it's made me realise I don't know how to handle the bike in such situations, normally
I'm a 75 front 25 rear breaker, what should you do? Also, what would be the best reaction if it was wet conditions?

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
