Perfect example of what happens when you let go of the throttle while in a turn...this person sure was lucky...

i was thinkin the same thing... why would you go flyin off the road just for letting off the throttle a little bit?

Cakes206 09-29-2006 03:34 PM

Letting off the throttle stands the bike up, pushing it wide...the target fixation comes after, been there, done that. Scary as hell.

It was more looking AT the problem and rolling off then just rolling off. You can see he has nothing for lean angle.

Whats to argue? IMHO, its a classic situation of said rider coming into a blind bend(see the big mountain to the right) and "thinking" they're coming in to hot so they roll off the throttle, once they fixate left, bike heads even more left. Again, just an interpretation of what I see, but the only one who can actually be 100% is the one riding the bike...but then again..."trust us, its the rotors!" :P :lol:
