Hey now, look again to see no dark oil mess on hard wrung Peel. Whats on the floor is from oil changes of lawn mower drain spout does not not fully clear lower deck so some drips before i catch it.
Early on before peel earn a name or was linked I had one the most dramatic recoveries using panic rally car heel toe - throttle brake, I was carrying a 7 foot black snake big enough it had one of wife duck half way swallowed when found so put in in a feed sack to road trip a few miles away as it eat posionous snakes, but bag bottom got damp so when stoned on spring greenery a mile from home on Gravel crest I felt a pain on R wrist looked down to see snake had in in month so reflex flung r arm away but snake hung on so had to let go bars to pry it off but sent bike tank slapping right into barbed wire fence so freaked out again with P!! point shoot instinct and spun then brake spun then braked to get back inline barely missing fence and did not really know what I did it was so fast harsh spinal cord level. But does add bone muscle memory and less fear of creeping on out of control states on my terms. What I did learn though was a cycle can slide opposite ways on both tires pivoting upright on it vertical center of gravity. i was proud of my save but ashamed of my fear reaction thinking I should of just stopped as not poisonous just razor cuts and test my reflexes with these snakes making em strike at me a foot or so away and trying to beat them and mostly do but not always so get a cat claw like wound. We had one the other day that swallowed a big duck egg and we stumbled on it it fled but to see over the grass i raise up and looked like a cobra with the egg just under head. Let it go on its way.
Oh yeah sometimes snakes are corssing my path and I do some decent sharp zig zags to miss them then fight back in control.
