Well I dumped my bike today going probably 20 mph. I started picking up some speed down a hill and tried to keep the front wheel straight but it didnt work. The road had most of the snow cleared off. i must have hit a patch of solid ice or maybe that tar they put down to seal up cracks or whatever its for. That stuff gets real slippery.
It's hard to walk. Tomorrow my leg is probably going to be black and blue. I'm slowing down from now on. 20 mph on a bike in the winter is too fast! Even if the road appears to be clear, you never know when you will hit a patch of ice. At least there is no damage to the bike. I'd say it's time to swap my 40T sprocket with my 50T sprocket for the winter. I need to have more low end power so I don't have to ride too fast for conditions to keep the engine in the power band.
