Laying the bike down
#21
I was just text from a friend. We had a rider down over night. One has broken collar bone, broke foot and ribs. The other one is unknow so far. Go head and play crash if you want.

It's easy. Lock up the rear brake and when the tail end starts to come around turn the handle bars in the direction of the slide and lean in the opposite direction. You'll go down.
Now whether or not you can climb up on the motorcycle is a different story but when it starts down you better get your leg out of the way.
Now here's your problem. Your gonna have to have some time leverage to do something like that. Accidents happen faster than a dog can fart.
Pay attention. Your better off learning to watch your surroundings and try to predict or guess what the idiots are going to do.

I layed mine down on purpose back in 1975 (thats my story and I'm sticking to it) to tight in the corner to much speed so I just layed her down so I could slide past the front bumper of the on coming car and looked COOL doing it. That was so much fun I think I'll go out and do it again.

Aint that the truth Will? I put one of mine under a Camaro years ago, and it happened in a split second. I remember standing up and thinking, "Wow, that was fast."

When leaning for a curve don't lean w/ the bike but stay vertical. That puts you in a better
position, in case you lay'er down, to climb onto the high side and "Ride'er like a sled". Simple.
Also if you rear end a cage straight on, at the moment of impact, jump straight up. This
maneuver will cause you to gracefully fly over said cage landing you gently upon a stool
at your favorite water hole.
