Afternoon gents! Day went from sunny and ok to wet and sucky. Had friends over helping us get stuff done. My Canadian friend toughed it out power washing the deck in the rain. His wife cleaned the boy's room out. Thank God for good friends.

An awesome day for riding today, blue skies and 81°. Had a little pucker factor going around after completing a right hand turn and was accelerating where I did not notice whatever it was that was slick as **** on the road and nearly put the blue bike down when the rear wheel kicked out left. Rolled a little throttle and slammed my right foot down and kept it up thank goodness. Just this once I’m glad Kristi wasn’t on it with me.

It makes it harder to keep the bike up for sure. One thing I learned eons ago about situations like that is to scoot as far forward on the seat as you can to unload the rear wheel, lean over the tank and stay up there otherwise you risk a high side as the bike straightens itself out. Learned this on dirt bikes when I was much, much younger and more supple than I am now. That would be tough to do with a pax.
