    LEAVES!!!!! be safe out there....

    Something i have been wanting to post up, your favorite roads have changed dramatically with the falling leaves and the wet weather... just a heads up for those who have been itching to get out and ride.... in fact the other day i was on my favorite local twisty with the cah and came around a corner 5 over speedlimit, and did a complete 180 due to leaves in the road.... just be safe out there everyone and keep in mind leaves are far and away more slippery and unpredictable than sand. they can build up where sand will usually wash off the road....

    Hi Keith!

    Story would be better if you did a 180 on your motorcycle.

    If you were riding a GSXR-600, you could just cartwheel over them.

    Be careful the sun is setting early also. Your road conditions may be different after dark.

    sun setting and sun rising, this time of year as days get shorter, the likelyhood of sun at a low angle and blinding you is more common

    I hit some ice that scared the shit out of me. Leaves not so much, & the sun I would rather be the one blinded then the cager.

    and thats what you really got to watch for, you know when your being blinded, its not so easy to know if the oncoming traffic is being blinded
