More likely he paniced and grabbed a big handful of front brake.

I mentioned that to my friend as well, that it sounds to me like he locked it up in the turn.

Wish Dyna Beads were around when I wrecked my CBR600. If they had been I wouldn't have to say I grabbed too much rear brake and crashed because I was an idiot.

Right. It can't be his fault. It must be the beads. Look out. Lawsuit time.

Here's what I think may have happened. Perhaps he overcorrected in the curve to avoid said deer, and maybe got the tire way out of wack in relation to the road surface, and once it got another bite on the road, it twisted his bars way over in the other direction. That's happened to me once, and fortunatly I didn't go down.
Or he grabbed so much front brake the front end washed out.

If he locked the rear brake even for a second and let up then he highsided.
