Last night i had an opportunity to apply what I've learned from my recent crash to avoid another one.
i was coming off interstate at 70mph. I was following my friend thinking that it was a different exit. The one i was thinking about has a nice straight ramp for about a quarter of a mile, and I was planning to slow down there. Unfortunately, we were at a different exit...When i saw the name along with recommended speed of 25mph, my heart sank. This exit's ramp literally wraps around itself making it a VERY sharp turn that is also surrounded by metal guards. I grabbed the brakes which locked at my front wheel...and here I am, sliding for the guard mentally preparing myself. I don't know how my brain managed to think so much in such a short period of time, but I suddenly decided that I was not going down. i let go off the brakes, let the bike recover itself, and was good to go
