Seems like the trouble I have with traction on the V45 is breaking loose under rapid acceleration on wet pavement.
Happened again today. This time, with my ME880's. Last time it happened was maybe March or April of 07, right after I got the bike, when I was running on stock tires -- Bridgestones?
Back then I attributed it to my unfamiliarity with the bike and its power. Having just transitioned from a Wing, I wasn't used to the rapid acceleration.
This time, I was just riding home in the rain. Tired of sitting in the rain, creeping up to the 4-way stop. I suppose I cranked on it hard. Might've hit a spot of grease in the middle of the intersection.
Luckily I kept it upright. A little fishtailing to jar me back to my senses.
Home safe.
