[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1358165, member: 27852"] I take issue with the term "had to lay it down". I'm certainly not proud of it, but I've "laid down" a motorcycle a total of 4 times on the asphalt. That doesn't make me an expert, but one undeniable fact I've learned is that you do not have time to cognitively decide anything. When an immediate emergent situation appears, you either have the skills and luck to instinctively (without thinking) perform and evasive maneuver.... .... or you don't and the bike will lay itself down, hopefully without you underneath it. I believe I now have the skills (and the ABS) to do a better job of avoiding the root cause of 3 out of 4 of my crashes. The 4th would happen the same way and I just have to accept the risk associated with that. [/QUOTE]
