Glad to hear you're ok.
Time for a new bike?
I find it strange as well as I have made this kind of turn on wet roads before without any drama. I really didn't think that I was going too fast for the conditions. I thought there might have been a slick oil patch. But I returned to the scene on the way home to inspect the area in the light. Nothing.
Bike is okay. I checked it once I got to work. My body protected it during the fall. But it may be time for new tires. I got Continental Ultras on the back.
