braking

[OhCrap]

I've never ever lost the rear of a bike under breaking.

Until about 2 weeks ago , neither did I.  I won't be making that mistake again.

Yeah, I noticed your damage in another thread. Glad to see you got up all right, but I did feel a little sorry for that pretty bike of yours. Did it happen in the wet or the dry?

Perfectly dry - started and over in about 1/4 of a second.

Trying to ride on a level of 5, with the ability of about 2 1/2 on a good day.  Eye opening experience.

The gear works.

Not sure how to translate this.

But I'm glad the gear worked. I use to ride in just jeans and an old leather jacket, but I've got full CE protective gear since I got my Hawk (costed me just as much as the bike, lol). I do hope I never really need it though.

Put another way... I was riding way over my head.
