I don't know if it makes me a dummy, but I was ATGATT and finding out what my bike was like on wet leaves this weekend. I'll tell you what, if I wasn't expecting my front wheel to push a bit on these leaves, I might have poo poo my pants. I looped back around for the irony of the sign (I'm a n00b at 3.5 months 3k miles).

Had a little slide across a double yellow at about 50mph. It's a weird feeling having the bike jump sideways about 8 inches, definitely a heart in the throat moment. FYI, it was a country highway that makes random 35pmh, 90 degree bends because of property lines and poo poo...so I had visibility up the road for at least a mile, and crossing the line was intentional.

Picked up the front wheel about 6 inches while turning right onto a highway from an intersection. Holy poo poo that was wild. I'll have to practice hard launches *in a straight line* without picking it up, I never want to do that while turning ever again. I'm really not used to the torque of this Monster 750.
