bad way to start off the day
so i wake up today around 730 to go to work and it's pouring outside. my car has been in the shop for a week already so i've been ridin the r6 everywhere i need to go. the rain starts to die down a good bit so i decide to try to ride my bike to work. long story short... approaching a light the car in front me hits their brakes pretty hard so natural reaction i hit mine kinda hard to avoid rear ending them becuase i was about 8-10 feet away from them at this point and the rear wheel locked up and slid out from under me. good thing is only a little scuff on the upper fairing on the corner becuase i have two sets of frame sliders on that side and the fairing are on that side i had taken off to repaint so minor damage. then i get to work and my boss tells me it's gonna be slow all day so i can go home if i want. which pisses me off even worst becuase he knows my car is in the shop and i've been riding my bike to work and i probably could have just called and told him i didn't want to ride my bike in the rain and he probably would have told me to stay home. so i should have been a little smarter and called first instead of tryin to go into work but anyway just wanted to vent a little cause that shit pisses me off and it happened like 20 mins ago. i guess...
moral of the story is pay more attention when you're riding and inclimate weather/wet roads. allow a larger gap for following distance, and make sure you have adequate amount of space around you to brake or manuever to avoid a collision if something unexpected would occur.
