    Was coming home from my mates house this morning.

    Was coming down a road at like 40mph.

    Put my hand up to a tractor that waited for me, when I turned to look back at the road, there was a shitty skoda felicia breaking quite hard to turn right.


    Pulled front brake and wheel slipped from underneath me, I slid along the road into the tyre of the skoda, grazed me a bit, but luckily no broken bones.

    The roads are cack, visibility is bloody shite, car drivers are drunker this time time of year.

    Just ride slower, avoid drains and white markers, and no grabbing of the front brake or your fucked.

    Seriously people, these accidents CAN be avoided.

    (On a side note i went stunting at my non slippery spot)
    Hehe

    unlucky mate, hope your bike doesnt cost much to fix ;)

    as for avoiding coming off just go round bends, corners at about 5mph and try not giving too much power on exiting a corner. just take it steady and at least your not really badly hurt!!
