Fall Foliage almost did me in

[Sum Beach]

Went out for a quick ride to run some errands this morning. Picked up lunch and took the roads less traveled home.
Coming up from Florida, we never had to deal with the fall foliage and leaves on the streets. So I really didnt pay no mind to them as I rode home.
Rock Creek is a fun road until I came around that one tree shaded corner that was full of leaves across the entire road.
Rolled off the throttle quick and ran the sharp corner just over at speed limit (@30 mph).
Still felt both tires skip, skip, skip, skip across the leaves. Had I taken it at the speed I usually do, well, lunch would be late. . .
Dangit. Now one more thing I gotta worry about on the road.
Y'all be careful out there!!!!!

That sucks. I don't have the problem in Arizona so I never thought of that. Thanks for the heads up.

Good post, those leafs can hurt your feelings, especially when they're wet.

Glad you made it through the corner.
