    A few weeks back I mentioned an aquaplaning adventure with my motorcycle. Today it was unexpectedly slippery (newssites even mention the many accidents this morning) and this time the back-end of my motorcycle broke out. I was driving pretty straight at the moment (so no turn luckily) and I just went of the gas and it pulled itself back straight. I had many sharp turns coming right up, so needless to say I went at crawling speed through. Perhaps it was good I received the warning moments before :). I really need to move to a warm and sunny climate...

          You said you went out of gas and I said you need to know when to fill up before going out of gas.

                                      I do not think I would have been able to recover. If I did I too would have went slow through the curve. I need to ride more. But not at -4F.

                                        Well, at least you didn't have to pay a monthly rental for the batteries?

                                          I do not think I would have been able to recover. If I did I too would have went slow through the curve. I need to ride more. But not at -4F.
