[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 758881, member: 5903"] Sam - What you did is the best, it worked and that's what counts. The bad part is you drifted into the oncoming lane, that could have been disastrous. But again, you couldn't really have prevented that. Those panic situations can really be hard to navigate. Fred and MM2 offer some great advise about riding within your vision. I for one do not like blind turns on roads, rocks, gravel, etc, can bite you hard. I go a lot slower when I can't see thru the turn, just for this instance. Now if you were really good and had that mad man dirt biker in you, when the rear end kicked out, and your foot went down you would have been hard on the throttle, controlling that 600lb beast around the turn, once the rear end hooked up you'd then be riding the wheelie out of it and looking like a star. :D ;) You did good Sam, you didn't go down. Ride safe buddy. [/QUOTE]
