Scared the hell out of myself in the rain this morning. Came out of a sharp turn before or house. I slowed for the turn but as soon as i was out of the turn i gave it a little throttle and the bike started fish tailing. Tossed me up onto the fairing but I got it under control and saved it. Scary. Thank God for advanced rider course that taught me how to deal with exactly that situation.

NICE JOB!!!
GLAD you took the advanced course. I wish EVERYONE did. It so saddens me when my fellow bikers go down for any reason.
Again mate, NICE JOB and thank you for sharing a successful ending. I guess I could have said "happy ending" but nah...its not the same.
Rode yesterday from Seattle to Chehalis, stayed overnight, watched some teenager select team baseball (GF's son is a good ball player), and rode back today. Took highway 507 instead I-5 to enjoy the scenery - great roads, twisties and small Washington towns. Hit some dive bars in Chehalis last night. Best Western in Chehalis had a nice VIP like covered parking area for bikes right at the entrance, which was a pleasant surprise. Parked next to two gorgeous Milwaukee 8 bikes with Oregon plates. A great ride, about 2.5 hours each way, with good weather (today in high 70s and no humidity).
