The other day I was taking the bike out for a wintery ride. A rare nice day in New England February that was to good to pass up. I rode for a good two hours around town through back roads and old neighborhoods, reliving memories from my childhood. I came around a nice sweeping right hand turn to see the Crypt Keeper driving a BMW across the double yellow into my lane. Fortunately the sand at the shoulder wasn't plentiful and disaster was avoided, for now.

About a mile later I was coming down a very steep hill towards a red light on route 9, a fairly major road around here. The last stretch of road before the intersection is heavily shaded, and I did not see the oil/diesel spill on the ground. When I applied the brakes the speedo dropped to zero, then shot back up to 20. I figured I would lowside into traffic, but suddenly ABS clicked on. Praise God for ABS.

Then I went home.
