Close call with some sand...

[*GhostRide37]

so I've already been out riding for about two weeks, minus when there has been snow or rain, and of course being very careful of the sand on the road. I always make sure I'm not heading into any turns with a pit of sand in the street. the other night though i was riding through a parking lot on my way to the street, leaning slightly to my left, when my front wheel slid on sand about a foot to the right before catching traction again and wobbling back into a straight line. scary moment, so just a reminder for those who are out there riding already, sand is everywhere and sneaks up on you when you least expect it

Amen to that, had a few pucker moments in the last few weeks also. Ride safe.

Flat track it

[RandyO]

learn to move with the bike when it slides/drifts, I guess if your hamfisted, a little sand might make yer ass pucker

there is no reason for close calls if your paying attention

Riding tips from the 1962 Honda Cub Instruction Manual (As translated from the Japanese - by the Japanese)

1. At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.

2. When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootle the horn trumpet melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage, tootle him with vigour and express by word of mouth, warning Hi, Hi.

3. Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take fright as you pass him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him. Go soothingly by.

4. Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport in roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes.

5. Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon. Press the brake foot as you roll around the corners, and save the collapse and tie up.
