Apparently I was following too close to a car today on my way home from work on a road I've ridden a thousand times. Car in front of me stopped short when I was going about 25 mph. Good news is that nothing bad happened.
I could hear that one of my wheels was skidding. Only thing I can think is that it was the rear wheel because I didn't really lose control. But, engine didn't stall which made me think it was the front wheel. Questions:
Does the front wheel possibly lock up and if it does would you still be able to go straight?
If the rear wheel locks up,shouldn't the engine stall?
If the rear wheel locks up, is my rear brake adjusted correctly? It's the first time I've ever had to slam on brakes like this before. Tread on tires is excellent..
Whew. That scared the driving-too-close-to-the-guy-in-front-of-me out of me!
