What are you trying to say? I didn't say pull the clutch in for gravel or wet roads. The example was diesel in the road. Nothing wrong with pulling the clutch in. Its done on dirt bike riding with no problems. And there's far less traction on a greenlane.

If diesel is down and suddenly you're upon it before you can avoid it, pulling the clutch in and letting it just roll over the diesel is a good strategy. I only speak from experience and there was absolutely no problem.

If you're leaned over in a corner in the same circumstances, it doesn't really matter what you do in that split second. Just hope you're lucky, try and steer to safety, don't panic brake and don't crash. You can still pull the clutch in and let it out again after you've passed the diesel, even on lean. But you'll have had a lot to do in a short space of time. In any case, you always let the clutch back out gently so the power doesn't cause the rear wheel to break traction.

So what does happen when you pull the clutch in mid corner? Nothing if you know what you're doing. Are you suggesting you'll run wide? Well of course, if you were not in the right road position. But I can do this deliberately if I want without any problems if I'm running a good line (and I have before). All you're doing is letting the wheels roll around the corner. No problem.

But you keep riding how you like mate.
