View Full Version : Shoot! Driveway Drop!

Just starting to rain this morning as I pull out of the garage. Previous owner put a darned slippery slurry coat on the driveway (hate it). I get to the end of the driveway & slow down because an SUV is coming down the hill & around the bend to my left. Tires slip & as the SUV goes by I feel it starting to fall to the right, so I figure I might as well exit the driveway to the right, down the hill. Couldn't save it. Laid it down gently, tried a couple times to lift it, but the darned driveway is too slick to keep my boots from slipping. Went & enlisted my wife to help me lift it back up. Not so embarassing, just more fodder to have the driveway redone.

Try getting the driveway resurfacing stuff from the hardware store and put sand in it. Might help you out. Glad you weren't hurt.

if you just eased it over, then we can presume , no harm was done to the bike!

Anti slip pool paint is good stuff too. Basically Driveway paint with sand in it.

Oh, I was a member of this club the day I went to test ride the bike before it was even mine. Dropped it in the dealer parking lot before the test ride. Even though it bucked me off its back, I bought it anyway. LOL
