Tyre sliding around under straight line acceleration.

Very easy to get some wheel spin at low speeds in the dry on some of the slippery, shiny, continental roads (same in the middle east and Oz, I've found). You need to be being pretty ham-fisted with the throttle though.
All it would take is for the OP to have experienced that, with some mediocre cornering ability on some grippier roads to have the breadth of different experiences he's mentioned here. No need for a witch hunt, its not like there would be any benefit in making it up.
That would make sense. I was definitely being ham fisted when I spun it out on the straight wanting to accelerate fast. However in Spain out of town it's always felt so grippy, and I'd read before that under normal acceleration the front will lift before the back spins so was just confused.

As for the last past... exactly. Literally no benefit to making up that I'm a s
t driver with chicken strips who can't even go in a straight line. Was embarrassed to even post the question at first because I realised it would make me look rubbish. LoonR1 said:
I was agreeing with someone else whose only other post was "custard", yet you quote my response and not his. Also you referenced "being insulted by Loon Domingues that makes me a member". Very Insightful for someone so new.
Own up. You're either a WUM, or a kid on school holidays. Either way your story is garbage and who the fk drives or rides round Gibraltar anyway? It's about 3 miles long and most of that is a big fking hill with no roads at one end and a massive runway at the other.
I assumed he was referring to the chicken strip picture and thought it was all a big wind up leading up to that pic or something. I'm not trying to wind you or anyone up, it's not a cool story or anything I'd be proud of. I'd much rather drive properly and be good at driving, which is why I posted up something weird that happened to me and didn't know if it was normal or me being rubbish. Own up.

As for the joke about being insulted by you I was only trying to be lighthearted. I've been lurking on these forums since early last year long before doing my test or getting a bike, so I've seen your posts etc of course.
