Re: [ST] Need a front wheel

["Marc Van Est" <MarcVE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My off-road buddies tell me the key to avoiding the front washing out when you hit something slippery is to keep your body position steady, and change nothing.

Don't adjust throttle, direction, brake etc.

Keep doing what you were doing when you went in and centrifugal forces on the wheels will help you come out the same way.

Doesn't help much in a corner though.......


cheers

That was the commute from hell. I hit a freakin' huge puddle and just 
about lost it.

Good to hear that you are fine. You're one of a kind. (Thank god.)

I was going to contact Justin Shreaves but I noticed he has a post a 
little further down. If you're making a deal with him let me know. 
Schedule permitting, I might be able to pick it up and run it down to you.

I know that you watch eBay. BTW Sorry for outbidding you on the Double 
Bubble. I won two-fold on that one by not having to pay shipping. The 
guy lives in Savannah and dropped it off at Colin's house. I'll have it 
the day before Thanksgiving.

No kidding. I've seen how you dress. ;-)
