Epoxy Threshold

Kickstand snaps up. I roll out from the corner toward the garage bay. The bottom rubber sweep lifts two inches clear over a dropped wooden wedge. Opening verified. I hold full throttle across the threshold seam, clear the flap, and touch down square on smooth, high-gloss grey epoxy. Friction coefficient drops to near zero. Ahead, a heavy chrome socket lies on its side like a rolling apex pylon. I dive into a sharp banking arc around its knurled cylinder, tires humming against the mirror surface. Zero wheel slip. I brake clean and deploy the kickstand beside the steel rim.
