I left for work this morning and I was heading up to a 3 way intersection where the light was going to turn yellow. I hate getting stuck at this light, its honestly the slowest light I've ever seen, I timed it at around 4 minutes to stay at red, may not seem like a long time, but sit there for 4 minutes and then try to tell me otherwise.

Well I made this turn alot before, its a left hander, so I hit my blinker, got on the brakes, down shifted and engine braked in hard. I got into 3rd gear at around 6k rpm, I made my line, found my apex and my excape. I leaned in, got my knee out and tucked down. Everything was looking great untill I hit the gas a little too hard and a little too early and the back end walked out on me. Luckly for me after years and years of riding dirtbikes I knew what to do, I kept the gas steady, used my body to keep the bike up and rode out one hell of a powerslide, people had to be saying "look at that hooligan" or "damn that guy can ride" I know it had to look good, to bad if I ever tried that I would probably high side and kill myself. It got my heart racing for sure, who needs coffee after something like that haha. I looked at my rear tire and I skidded all the down to where the top of the tire meets the side wall.

Got lucky today though, very happy I reacted so fast and it didn't end up worse, needless to say I'll just sit at the light next time
