[QUOTE="Tree Doc, post: 758941, member: 20267"] Way to cheat death, Sam....keep it up! You have a bunch more seat time than I on the FeeJ and once in the midst of the shit, I'm not sure I would have done anything different. My additional thought is along the lines of a couple others in that the avoidance is paramount but that's the obvious. I can honestly say that after doing the StreetMasters course a year ago March with Walt and Nancy, I know for fact that I have avoided this conundrum many times over on my old ride as well as on the FJR by living and sticking to the late apex method of riding. Having the bike set up in the proper configuration (lane position, braking, downshifting, speed, throttle posit) BEFORE turn entry, really allows you to safely deal with the unexpected shit that one might encounter in an instance like yours. I'll be the first to admit though that I'm overly cautious, especially on unfamiliar twisties and tend to be a bit slower because of it. I'm going back to SM on the FeeJ in September. Thanks for posting up your experience. It really helps keep my mind on solutions to problems that I haven't yet experienced. [/QUOTE]
