Just a note to watch out for fine gravel and sand in the curves. I had the front tire wash out in a parking lot at 15 mph today. I was breaking for a curve and hit soon loose gravel and in an instant I was picking up my Linhai 300 with the help of a passerby. I have some scrapes and bruises but I am OK. The bike has some road rash on the left front. It could have been much worse. My heavy heated Milwalkie coat kept me from more skin loss and it did not even tear. So let's all be careful and keep the shinny side up. Jeff.

Cannot agree more. Sand and gravel are not your friends. Glad you're relatively intact.

Ellpee, I am lucky I was wearing my gear and only ended up with scrapes and bruised ribs. The scoot has scratches all down the left side. Jeff

Changing direction and speed at the same time is never a good idea no matter what you are driving.....whether on 2, 4, or 18 wheels, it does not matter, still a bad idea......those of us on two wheels usually learn this early on
Glad it didn't cost you, in a more serious way
