My Good friend got married to the girl he has been with for 18 years Sunday, i was asked to be the "Best Witness" of course i agreed. The ceremony was small and done by a JP. The weather was decent for the ceremony, and the T'storm held off till a little bit later. Anyhow, i had my midget, put the top up and headed out toward the house.
Walker Mountain Road, twisty, turny, steep and less than perfect pavement and now a little bit wet from the rain. i went into the left hand corner (in retrospect) a bit to fast. The hind quarter broke right, i corrected and took my foot off the gas. Now i am sliding with the left side trying to pass me..corrected again,,,uh oo... now i am sliding toward the ditch (classic Fishtail) with the right side trying to pass me. Made a judgement call and did not correct and let the rear quarter come around.. There i sat pointing the opposite direction of travel than when i started,,, AND in the wrong lane.
The Good (insert your favorite higher being here) must have been watching out for me and kept anyone else off that stretch of road for me and kept me out of the ditch.
Lesson learned: wet pavement can be slippery.
