Not my finest moment...

Here is what happens when it's dark, just started to rain and you reach for the MODE button at 117km per hour but hit the STOP button instead...














Not much. The ABS light comes on. Cruise control turns off. Twist the throttle and she's right, mate. Could have been worse.

Why would you reach for the mode button at 117kph

Well I think, the wisdom of the years, would suggest I slow down first

Why would you need to slow down when you have a rain mode???

+1

and I haven't even got the mode options!

Slow down?

Why would I slow down? All these new fangled safety mechanisms mean I can go faster with less danger than I experienced as a 17 year old on my Kawasaki KR250.
