Nearly binned it

Went for a quick ride down to the Rakia Gorge today. For no apparent reason the front just slid out from under me on one of the bends. It was bad enough that I put my foot out for support not that this would have helped a lot. Bike garbbed the road and I regained control.

No excessive speed. Just a calm corner. No melted tar. The only thing I can think of is a stone or perhaps a small branch. Gave me one hell of a fright. Just so unexpected.
