From Liberty hill rd., had to cross a small stream with appx. 1" of water running over a concrete slab, to get over to Fouston Hollow rd. Why did I think I should go over to Fouston Hollow anyway, either would have came out with in 3 mi. of the same place & we were just out riding anyway. The slime on that concrete was slicker than owl snot, just easing across at maybe 3 mph. & both feet dragging, my 1100E slipped out from under me before I knew what was happening. Concrete was so slick, we had trouble standing & trying to get the bike back up. No major damage, chrome ring on Train light, sticker on ign. cover brake lever, & pride, dang this is embarrassing, I didn't need to go over the creek anyway. I've known for ever how slick the slime is where water is running over flat rocks or concrete, Looking back I guess my brain just got stuck for a min. Just say'in, if you come up on a place like this, don't try to cross if there are other options.

Did you have a passenger? he/she OK? or riding buddies on other bike(s)? Video or it didn't happen.
Glad you're OK. -
Naw, me on my "83" 1100E & my buddy on his "83" CB1100F, nobody hurt, except my feelings. I can't do pictures or video's, me, nor my old flip phone, are capable. Wish you were right, & it never happened, just a bad dream.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

Ugh, that sucks. We've all been there though. Ok, maybe not everyone, but I have ridden my 1150 down some ridiculous dirt and gravel mountain roads that it had no buisness being on.
Glad you're ok.sigpic
When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"
