    A very appropriate warning since its that time of year. Leaves can be bad stuff to drive on. As mentioned, right up there with black ice.

    One thing I love about the is not having to worry so much about sand/gravel on a curve, fresh grass clippings on the road, leaves on the road, etc. Mind you, I do slow down because even a 4-wheeler can skid on wet leaves on a curve.

    Worse thing I ever hit brakes on was a couple pieces of vinyl siding that fell out of a construction vehicle, I had no idea at the time. As soon as my braking wheels hit the stuff I was sliding slicker than ice.

    Wow, a 2 liner post....or 3
