Today was just a beautiful day. I decided to take a trip to Sandbridge. On the way home, I took the road closest to the ocean. There were patches of sand here and there, which I avoided. Then I saw it coming- sand all the way across the road, extending 15-20 feet, perhaps 1 to 2 inches deep. I figured- no problem, I have driven over sand before. I will just follow the common sense stuff- reduce speed, go as straight as possible, maintain constant speed, no sudden movements.
I had the crap scared out of me. The bike was almost uncontrollable and dancing around. I was all ready to go down, but, amazingly, didn't. I have driven over sand before, but never that far, never that deep, never that DRY, and never on the Concours.
I think I will avoid all similar occurrences at all costs next time.
Is there something I should have done differently?
