Hi Rod:
Sorry to hear about the accident and I hope you heal up soon. I think it is good that we discuss the accident to see what went wrong and figure out how to prevent it from happening in the future. I hope that you don't mind. I have only 13,000 miles under my belt and need all of the help and improvement that I can get. It sounds like you may have let off of the throttle (engine braking), thereby shifting the bike and your weight forward. This would reduce traction on the rear tire and when the rear brake was applied it could lockup and skid. If the front brakes were applied and a little rear braking, this may have been avoided. What does everybody think?
