Re: Highside!
Only one partial, I'm really surprised I saved it, as was the chap behind me (IAM ride too). Knackered my shoulder doing it though; I was on painkillers for about a week afterwards. Basically occured because I was going a bit fast into a corner strewn with gravel, the back end came loose, slipped out to the side. I eased off the throttle a bit, the wheel found traction again and then the bike proceeded to try to fling me off to the other side. Backside well off the seat (chap behind reckoned at least a foot, but more like a foot and a half), I was still hanging onto both bars, my right foot stamped down and brought me back up.

Re: Highside!
Hearing some of the "saves" on here, think some of you should try out for England Goalkeeper

Re: Highside!
Had a near highside coming out of Clearways/Clark Curve, tyre smoking I almost went twice, foot on floor and peg cracked my shin (thanks God for armour), not a happy time but one hell of an experience!

Re: Highside!
Couple of weeks ago found black ice on a roundabout, thankfully not going that fast.. but it still hurt like hell arriving on the deck from a great height!

especially as he could read SIDI on my sole dragging along the track as I atempted to cling on. I've never been as quick to turn the gas on since!
