Default How to recover from a highside

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGKhkO-SsDk&NR=1

It does involve smacking your lid off your fairing then getting BOTH knees down.

But it CAN be done

I reckon the bike had more decision than he did as to how that one was going to play out. More luck than judgement.

I don't think judgment could easily come into it, it's happening so fast. He's basically just made the decision to hang on for all he's worth and you have to admire the determination and strength, but of course he's lucky that it's actually possible to recover from it.
