Haha for all you peeps looking for a bin story this ain't it. Kinda like a life lesson/success story. Had a brown pants moment today, i'd classify it as a category 5 brown pants moment, one where your anus tightens so much it collapses in on itself and creates a black hole!
Anyway, was riding with some mates today, cruisin to mission bay. They were well ahed as I'm a nana and as I'm a super noob was taking it easy. They went thorugh a corner as a pretty fast speed so i was like sweet deals can't be bad, but still My entry speed was round fifty k. Yes i know, i'm a daredevil

. What i didn't know was this should have been posted as a fucking 15k corner cos it tightened up instantly.
I ride pretty defensively and i should have predicted a tightening corner but i didn't, put it down to being a noob. Anyway i was about to do what all noobs do, i touched the front brake. NOOOO i remembered all the good people i have met kicking my ass over making that mistake last time, so i went for gold and found out that no my bike will not fall over even though it sure as hell feels like it. I basically had to plant it on it's side. JUST! made the corner without going over the centre line...lucky no oncoming traffic. Anyway that has got to be the most scary *and yes in some way exhilarating moment of my life*. A lesson learned and one that shall not be repeated that in suburbia the roads can do all sorts of weird shit!
So from now on, on top of my defensive riding i will add another layer of defensiveness lol.
Thats bout it. Ride safe all.
Now to wash my riding pants lol jokes
