Granny's gone and done it again

Morning all!

No didn't 'hit' the tree. Came close but no cigar. Trail I was on is tilted in one area. Some of the trails are dry but some are wet in areas and greasy thanks to the clay we have here. Plus the wind blows the leaves around and we clear the leaves so where there aren't any leaves the ground is a bit snotty slick under tires. You are just cruising along on leaves and suddenly on clear slick earth and oops.

That's what happened to me. Felt the back tire slide, then the front tire slid and threw my dirt bike sideways so my rear tire was in the slick area and my front tire was in the leaves off trail and about a foot away from a 12 inch diameter tree by the time I put on the front brakes.

I was lucky. When I met up with DH I told him to avoid North Trail because it was very slick and I almost went down. So what did he do? Right, headed for North Trail where he hit the slick area and yep, he later admitted that he slid out and went down. Luckily not hurt.

We both ride pretty conservatively than most dirt bike riders and in respect to our ages. DH is a bit more of the dare devil than I am. My ICON is me on my little Yamaha 125.
Whew, glad neither of you were hurt. Had to laugh that you said, Don't go there and he went. One, two, three, all together now Ladies ... "MEN!" :lau
