QSO on the I-Ball Band!

My instinctive reaction is to go upright and steer gently in the new direction of travel. Like counter steer but a bit more. Stop the rotation of the whole bike and gain traction on the skidding real wheel ASAP. It usually takes very little input. Dont let that back tire come around and fooking hookup as the bike slows down. I only highsided once, in the dirt. Superman'd for about two seconds, then the landing from about 8 feet in the air hurt.

Then I practiced a lot till it never happened again. I pushed the Connie a few times till it got weird.
Easy to do with a bit of heavy throttle in a tight corner. Dayum, I miss riding. Sigh.

I've been learning to drift the Miata a bit. 53/47 weight distribution is freaking amusing.
Spun out hard a couple of times, on purpose. Wet parking lot fun.

Going home one evening on one of these:

Attachment 5798

I had it leaned over in a curve to the point where those nice bag protector rails were just about scraping the asphalt, then got the rear wheel into some gravel/loss of traction scenario.

What did they teach at the MSF school regarding this? (3 things)

I'd answer, but it's too early in the morning. LOL

My reactions are instinctive for the most part as well. I do almost everything by instinct and just doing it, rather than relying on book-knowledge, which is why I'm a terrible teacher.

And good at Twister?
