: Almost dumped it...

So last night it was probably high 40's low 50's where I am, go out side to warm the bike up for the trip home, get all my gear on and start pulling out of the parking lot. Yeah warming the bike up before a ride does not mean that the tires are warm also, I guess I wasnt fully out of my turn onto the street because when I gave it some gas the rear kicked out from behind me, I let up and the tire caught and flipped me back the other way. I think it would have gone over if it hadn't been for my leg sticking straight out and slamming against the ground... :oops: But for some reason I gave it some more gas when I was all straight and did my first wheelie by mistake going up the street :D !! Luckily nobody saw my flub, but too bad nobody saw my wheelie...

Did almost the same thing last night....tires were cold, cracked the throttle at a green light and the ass end of the bike felt like it was on ice!!!! I actually pulled over because I thought I had a flat. Lucky for me it was just cold tires.

That's some good $hit guys. Take it easy out there! (parts are expensive if you mess ;) ) I don't need any more competition on ebay!

Hobo - Sorry to hear about your flub, and CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST WHEELIE! May you have many better intentional ones:)
