i was looking to see if something of that nature happened to anybody else cuz it happened to me yesterday as i was leaving my neighborhood. i got to the 1st corner that i always take and the bike just went out from under me for no reason at all. i mean im sure there was a reason but i took the corner the same as i always do. i wasnt leaning hard nor was i going fast, i was just making a normal turn at a normal speed and the bike just flew out from under me...almost like i hit ice on the road or something. there was no sand/leaves/oil and my neighbors that saw what happened said they just saw the bike go one way and me another way. i wasnt going fast so i just scrapped my knee a little and the bike has 2 minor scratches and a bent front brake lever. thank god the worst that happened was the 2 scratches cuz im sure it could have ended up a lot worse, but i do not feel comfortable riding on these tires anymore since i have felt it slide a couple times and i finally went down. guess my slip-on money is going towards new tires and my tire/wheel replacement through suzuki just became worthless to me since all they replace is dunlops.
