Brand spanking new tires + brief rainstorm + new ashpalt on highway on-ramp (with a little too much throttle) = experience I won't soon forget!
I didn't lay Elvira down but it was in serious jeopardy of happening for what seemed like a long time. That was way too damn close!

Yozsa, glad you pull her out. I hit a newly paved section on a friends bike today. Not fun.

Wow, Don! All you were missin' was the banana peel, or else you could'a hit the QUADFECTA, dude!  Glad to hear you made it okay.  (...that sounded scary!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I've been there, same situation, except the forks hit the stop and my foot wasn't gracefully sliding, it slammed down and helped get the bike straight again. Mine happened in a freshly paved parking lot with a sprinkler system in the median. 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Reminds me of the time, right after my bike was freshly painted, that I hit a wet grease slick in the parking lot behind Applebees. Can't believe I didn't drop it. I think I willed it to stay upright.

Well Don, if you can ride like Gene Romero is doin' there, then you had NOTHIN' to worry about, ol' buddy!

It wasn't graceful and I will admit that my hamstring and ankle from slamming down and sliding have been sore all day today.
