I can’t help it, they keep sneaking up on me.

Maybe I shouldn’t post the second video of the same day on the other bike :lol

I was running out of revs coming up that hill and went to shift, even being smooth I assumed I upset the suspension enough for the rear to become lighter and wash out. It wasn’t a typical loss of traction where you spin first, try to regain and then lose it. This was just in-your-face-instant _BAM_. I’ll most likely end up going with a moto GP shift on the bike to make shifting in turns a lot smoother as well. Reaching under the pedal when you’re leaned over isn’t the best way of doing it.

I was on the gas lighter then I was during the run in the dry, but I just may have been too heavy. But like I said, it wasn’t loss of traction that lead to loss of balance, it seems like it was instant loss of balance. :ponder
