The bike was already over 30-40*. Slapping the ground pushed me and the bike into an upright position. The rest was a miracle.

Ok but, you got passed the slick spot, yes or were you flat tracking it for a good bit?
Once it was upright, it was all normal. Had traction, no hydroplane, just rolled up to a stop sign where I finally took a breath.

Kinda exhiliratin' ain't it? Especially when your drawers come back from the cleaners?
That's where what GW is talking about really comes into play; riding dirt bikes and not being much bothered by a little fish tailing. I don't much worry about it until the saddle bags are trying to pass me.
LOL thats the advantage you guys have on me, I have never riden anything before getting my motorcycle license. Everything is new.
Got off the grates, stopped at stop light. My hubby said see there not bad, I said WHAT my a@@ just fished tailed all over the place. You have a 300 tire on the back of your bike, it doesn't phase you.. lol He thought it was rather funny..
If my saddle bags try to pass me up there will be no need for the cleaners...

Ah, just saw this, explains why all the questions... the rear was fine, no fishtail. It was the front that lost traction, basically buckled under me like riding a bicycle on ice.
