Firsts for the year

[eboos]

Today was my first time putting on leathers for the year, my first time riding my TTR for the year, and my first time crashing for the year.

I went to Northbridge HS's parking lot to do some cones, but the ground was totally wet and salty. My TTR has slicks on it, but I figured that it was dry enough for me to get some traction. I was wrong. Aside from just putting around and warming up the bike, the first time I got it leaned to about 45 degrees, I lost the rear. I got back up and said to myself "well that didn't take long" and started the bike back up. After surveying the ground, I realized that it won't be drying off anytime soon and this will just happen over and over, so I packed everything up and left.
