more throttle?
when ur that far sideways, i think it's just luck.
i was that far sideways numerous times, albeit in the dirt and sand (totally different, i know), and when i was about to accept defeat i had enough left in me to blip the throttle and "see what happens" and miraculously, time after time (at least 6 or 7), the bike straightened out.... i wrote it off as luck too :-), all 7 times...
I think he probably got into that situation cause he cracked of exit speed the throttle when the bike was still leaning and as we all know, a bike can only accelerate when it's upright so it created what would've been a high side since the rear lost it's contact patch.
Then he probably panicked and let off the throttle and somehow stayed up. I think it was pure luck that saved him, had he goosed the throttle any more he would've went down.
He could've also got into that situation from too much rear brake, the end rsult being the same; luck saved him. Trail braking a bitch when you can't do it!
"I think he probably got into that situation cause he cracked of exit speed the throttle when the bike was still leaning and as we all know..."
Well... what I meant was he probably cracked the throttle when the bike was still leaning for more exit speed.
yeah, after looking at the pictures more closely.. i think E is right... too much throttle, especially since the turn wasn't even that tight, look at his angle to the double yellow and the curve rate... definitely luck... dude probably rode around the curve after that, stopped and had to remind himself to blink...
so the trick is to stay on the throttle, pray that you snapped one off that morning and hold on?
that and counter-steer into the high-side or lock up the front and low-side which is usually a much safer way to crash.
i've done it myself before, pretty easy actually:
1) pucker, and I don't mean your lips
2)stream of expletives, your choice
3)look doom in the face, laugh heartily
4)sweat profusely
5)realize you only have the bike covered for liability and you can't afford major repairs, will the bike to stay upright, ride on like it never happened
6)when you finally get home, change pants and don't forget to wipe down seat.
no problem!
