i was polling away from work and i had to do a left turn and i was going like 15mph and all of a sudden bam the back brakes loose. the handle bars shakking and the bike going left to right and back. i was trying to keep it upright and i actualy did it. somehow i did not crash or do any damage. i sware i was so sideways i dont know how i made it. it turns out there was a bunch of gravle on the rode. it was night so i did not see it and it was a turn. stupid gravel.

i just had to get that out.

You are a very lucky person. That happened to me once putting out of my driveway and somehow I kept it up. This spring is gonna be back depending on where you live and if you have a ton of salt trucks dumping salt and sand this winter.

LOL!!!!!!

Been there, done that. A couple months ago, it just got done raining on a crested corner. Back end stepped out, and instincts took over. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but the guy behind me (riding a dual-sport) said it went VERY sideways. It didn't feel like it did, but I guess so. Amazing how fast someone can react to stuff without even knowing it.

Good to hear it didn't bite the asphault (again) lol.
