Ahhh, dont't let me spook you...just use a lot of throttle control, and don't roll on it too hard before you get the bike straightened up, and that shouldn't happen.

Must be a track newbie - Lights, signals not taped up, and mirrors still on the bike. Probably has street tires with 38psi of air in them, too. D'oh!!

That's not a low side. He's just backin' it in. Or maybe he though he was dirt tracking.
I have an RC51 and the bike is very competent but it comes back to the rider. I started doing my track days on the RC several years ago and I love it. Even though these days, it does feel down on power (at 130 hp lol) but it is still a blast to ride. Throttle control is importatnt with any bike. My guess though by looking at the picture, is he shifted to 1st gear instead of staying in second. The spacing is so tall between gears that it is very easy to do with the stock gearing setup. He downshifted and went to turnin at the same time and it elicited a slide like you see. It almost looks intentional though is the funny part.
I also have a lady friend that owns an RC and she LOVES it and has admitted several times that she really gets off on the power and rumble of the bike. Literally. A f'ing Men.

That is an incredible shot. I thought it was mandatory to tape up the lenses?

All clubs and organizations have different rules when it comes to track prepping your scoot.
With TPM it's a requirement to remove mirrors and tape up all glass and plastics like signals and brake lights
I wouldn't ride with any club that didn't enforce these rules.

should have stayed on the throttle... maybe, just maybe, u could have just done one incredible U-turn!?
question of the day-- my lowside happened so fast i wasnt sure what the hell to think-- all i remember is, im turning-- the bikes missing-- im tumbling down the track-- intitate body part inventory--
now i know what a kick ball feels like right before u punt it into outer-space. Glad your ok, sweet picture!
