Common occurance. One of the guys at worked dumped his Yamaha R1 the same way,
although in the middle of the summer. It was a hard way to learn that
the monster
gumbo tires are sticky only AFTER they heat up. Darn fool hit an entrance
ramp on
the way to work and didn't figure it out until he picked himself and his
pride up
out of the gutter.

Oh, and be very careful around the Dunkin' Donuts around here. Ever notice how
people like to spill off the tops of their cups of coffee at the first light?
Makes lovely black ice.
