How many have you had while out riding? Is it something that happens once in a while or to offten?
:withstupi :scratch:Low said:How Often??? Do you mean how often do you have to $heit while riding... :tt: or how often do you mess up and say Oh $heit.... :skep:
I have maybe a few when I lean over enough and go wide... or some beast jumps out in the street... but for the most part... it's all good... I'm not that bad...![]()

You know with all of these old people in florida I get cut off or forced off the road at least about once every two weeks..
Several times I've skidded the rear tire, but it stayed in a straight line. Almost every time I heard the skid, I thought it was someone else. One time I even modulated the front brake, not thinking it was coming from the rear.snadamo said:...So I decided to hit the brakes at about 50mph, and I lost traction to the rear wheel. The bike was swaying back and fourth. I calmly left my foot on the rear brake and just held on to the handlebars tight and rode out the skid...

AZIROC said:werd.. about 2 weeks ago i found i can literally go sideways on a busa and still keep control. i was going down camelback just b 4 dysart (going to EMCC to take a final) and a chick on the phone in a toyota camary decided she needed 2 go to the walgreens and go across 3 lanes of traffic.. sadly, i did not see her cause of the f-150 going the other direction that she ended up cutting off. so i slammed on the front and rear breaks, and the rear ended up locking up so the rear of the bike kicked out and next thing u know, im FACING north, but the bike is traveling west. by this time i left off the rear break and it corrected itself. :yikes: haha, i had a dude in a blazer at the light give me a thumbs up and say he thought i was SO gonna crash. that lady.. btw, i think flipped me off for some reason.. prob cause i was some punk kid on a sportbike not paying attention :scratch:
Well the road there was fairly slick and perhaps I was going over 50, who knows. It probably wasnt that much movement, but I could defininitely feel the bike moving left to right a bit in the rear. IT definitely was a really late brake situation. It looked/felt like racing on a track and braking as hard as possible before leaning into a turn. As I was braking I was thinking to myself "I didnt think I was going that fast..."No Worries said:Several times I've skidded the rear tire, but it stayed in a straight line.

If the bike is sliding straight. I let off the rear break and re-apply.snadamo said:There was a yellow at the intersection and wasnt too sure if I was going to make it or not.
