Like telling a story to a group
Yeah, I'm probably not going to recount opening for the j Geils Band.
Depends what happened!
Whelp, I am not perfect. I completely whiffed it in a corner, losing almost all control. I was able to keep it mostly on the asphalt and rubber-side down, but I ended up in the opposite lane and facing the opposite direction. I failed to notice the sand and gravel on the asphalt, so had reduced traction in the corner. I would have been well within the envelope, but the sand and gravelly stones reduced friction and Ol' Buddha went more sideways than he expected.
I can usually remain calm and keep this sort of stuff on the pavement. It was a 35 mph corner and I wasn't going much faster than that, so no scratches, no dents, and the tires don't feel like I put a flat spot in 'em.
