[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1021305, member: 3828"] Good point. If presented with hitting some sort of obstacle in the road like this, the best move a rider can make is to stand up on the footpegs. That would be second nature to anyone who has done any off road riding in their past. This puts all of your weight down low in the chassis and gives the suspension the best chance of doing its job. It also prevents you from being ejected over the bars like what happened in this video. I wonder why they don't teach that at MSF Basic Rider courses? It's not something that takes a lot of skill but it has to be second nature for you to think of it right away as an emergency reaction. [/QUOTE]
