Not A Race, But Almost Lost...
About 5 minutes ago I was coming back from getting smokes.
Swung it through first, sideways and recovered, again sideways in second and recovered, again in third, couldn't recover, but saved it from the curb and did near a 360. Dead stop. Heart pounding.
Thank *** no curb.

I've done a 180 twice at the same intersection, making the same turn. I guess it has something to do with the way the pavement slopes toward the curb. Both times it was a light misty rain. The last time there was a cop at the light , he looked over and just about died laughing. It must of looked like something out of a movie because I stopped facing the other direction less than 6" from the curb. It's funny because I'm not in the throttle and when I try to correct, it just keeps going.
