Default First slip on the Bridgestones.

Ok so I had a scary moment yesterday on the new bike. I was out at lunch and it was a cool day, about 55-60 I'd guess. I had left work and was about 2 miles from work. I was at a stop sign making a left turn. I take of and get about 3/4 of the way through the turn and my rear tire stepped out on me about a foot for so. I was probably about half throttle and 5-6K rpm so I was no where near pushing it hard so I kept the throttle steady and just rode out of it. It was a scary moment for me. I never had that happen on the Kawi. Not sure if the Bridgestones suck or it they just take longer to warm up, but the PP's NEVER stepped out like that. Anyway all is good, but I am going to be a little more cautious on these tires. If it happens again, I'm going straight in for some new tires.
