Sorry to put a serious side to this very funny thread but Gerry, you could try treating your leathers to some Neatsfoot Oil or some Saddle Soap, when I had a horse I used these on the bridle and saddle and have never found the saddle slippery! It may help! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

LOL. You're not alone. I've done that once with a 250. Very embarrassing!

Gerry your so funny, I havent done that to my leathers but did carried away cleaning my bike and polished the seat - never again ;D

Your story is priceless.
If its any consolation - I usually end up in these types of situations too.
I particulary like the 'Red Bull' friction increasing option!
