Was merging onto the highway this morning when it started to fish-tale badly. Tried to get it under control but my main concern was to avoid rolling and not hitting other vehicles. Ended up going off the highway and into a tree. Luckily, I did not hit any other vehicles and no one hit me as I swerved across traffic. I'm ok, just a little stiffness in my neck, but what's eating me is WHY this happened. Road conditions were great. I was accelerating and merging lanes as I entered the highway and getting up to highway speed.
My first thought was I blew my rear tire or my swing arm busted but it was intact. Now I'm completely stumped and really damn curious if it was mechanical. I recently had a ton of recall and warranty work done on the machine. The brake pressure switch was replaced, swing arm replaced, upper ball joints replaced and steering angle sensor reset. I've never had the back end completely lose it. So many questions going through my head right now.
