[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 759010, member: 4"] The above is the key take-away from this discussion..... You were mighty lucky, Sam... but you know that already. Unless you have *just* finished that section of road and know [B]for a fact[/B] what is and isn't lurking just around each bend, it is extremely problematic to "out-ride your eyes" when dealing with tight twisties. I am glad you kept the bike upright.... because it could have gone the other way. For example... Iggy and I have a co-worker who, under our guidance, just purchase a 2010 silver FJR, and took it down to the San Fran area this weekend. He low-sided on gravel in a right turn and went down pretty good.... good enough to destroy the throttle tube and badly fuck up right-side tupperware. :( Don't out ride your eyes, folks.... 'cuz Badness can easily lurk just around the bend... [/QUOTE]
