Heading north on university right after front st.
There is a slight right turn and as im making it and looking through the turn i see a lady in her car driving south in my lane. the left most lane.
I didnt want to swirve into oncoming traffic and ccouldn't swirve into my right lane as there was traffic slightly behind me in that lane.
I hit the brakes. obviously too hard. the bike's *** end swirves to the left - i felt like it was 90 degrees but im sure it was less - somehow i get the bike back straight and end up stopping right in front of the ****ing car going south in my lane.
Lesson learned. easy with the back brake. easier said than when ur in the heat of the moment.
Was wearing all my gear so if i did go down damage wouldn't have been too bad.
A funny thought ran through my head as i was kidding - wow im skiding and sliding my bike sideways for the first time.
