I was not so lucky last year. Following one of my Harley freinds,didnt know he was lost. We turned down what seemed like a good road. About 5 miles in it goes to sand with no warning. It was also rutted( I hear that is done by the state to keep it relatively safe during our winter - not sure of that as fact) Played hell with the suspension and I am frustrated but thinking this cant go on. We come around a corner and there is a car stopped in the middle.My buddy stopped. I have no choice but to stop but did it with the bike unbalanced. Got it stopped but put my foot out and it slipped in the sand. Down we go. Got the bike up with a little help from the driver went around him and a couple miles later back on asphalt.No damage as the bike was fully stopped and I tried to hold it as it slipped over...Note to self,if it turns to sand or gravel turn around first opportunity....
