I didn’t take into account the wet leaves on the road........I did it Kenny Roberts style. I unclipped my inside leg and used it as a pivot to transfer to weight between the front and rear tire. Touching either brake would have made the bike slide off the road.

I had to stop for a minute on that one to let the adreniline dissipate:-)
