It is the rainy season here in Hawaii right now, which apparently means the tunnel on the highway is the most slippery place on Earth.
I was going along at about 65, gave some throttle input to compensate for the uphill. I felt the back end break loose and saw the traction control light flash. I got off the throttle as soon as I felt the rear break free, but the traction control kicked in by then. To say the TC saved me from wrecking may be a bold claim, but maybe it did no way to know.
Sure the best traction control is the rider, but it sure is nice to have a back up for the unforseen patch of oil and the unimaginably slippery tunnels out there.
The tunnel is in the process of being resurfaced right now, they can't finish soon enough.
