So, it was raining yesterday and guess what.. I nearly came off on those shit tyres. I was going around an island and the back slid and i dropped on my knee, i sort of kicked myself upright as the back was sliding but i let go of the handlebars. The front wheel went into the kerb of the island and kicked the handlebars straight-ish so i just managed to grab them. There was an old Renault Clio right behind me up my ass aswell who JUST braked enough not to hit me. Had i come off theres a fair chance i would have gone underneath the car. I was pretty shaken up.. It's only by fluke that i didn't come off. There's not much damage to the bike, just some scratches that i've managed to hide. But seriously you were right, i'll be changing those bastards asap.
I've lost all confidence to ride in the rain now. I wasn't going that fast at all. It's quite terrifying going at such a speed and not being in the slightest bit of control. When i let go of the handlebars i felt helpless and really thought i'd be in a big accident. Someone was looking over me yesterday!
