Ouch BD, sorry to hear it but glad you were geared up.  Dressed for the
spill, not for the thrill!  

I know new tires can be slick until they've had some heat put into 'em to
burn off the release compound.  How leaned over were you?  Even at 20 in
the neighborhood corners I can get a decent lean going, just wondering how
mych lean you had to see if that was a factor.
