Was heading to see a friend graduate from nursing school this morning and while it wasn't raining it had earlier. Was downtown and had a light change to red and started my stop from about 20 ish miles per hour when I locked up the rear wheel and started a rear wheel skid. Fortuanately remembered to keep it locked and bring the bike to a stop with the front but it was interesting for a couple of seconds I got lucky and didn't dump the bike so it was a learning experience. I slowed down afterwards and was thankful I was wearing a helmet gloves and jacket in case I had gone down.

way to keep your head on a hair situation.

Thanks

cool. I was doing 65 this morning when 3 deer ran out in front of me. Good thing I am good at stopping err at least have a good reaction time cause I stopped about 20 feet from them. took me prob 50 feet to go from 65-0. heck in the course I stopped in 17 feet at 20mph . then not 2 miles later a friggen truck pulls out in front of me and this truck I know for a fact never goes over 45mph. Luckyly I was looking forward and was able to go around him without hesitation since I was looking ahead to see what was going on up there .
