Man, Don't Know If I Can Watch A Second Time

tripletango, ABS would have kept the wheel turning which is a gyroscopic effect and might have not allowed it to step out as far as a sliding tire would have.

JB, thanks for owning up to the event and posting about it.

I dunno about it never happening again. I dropped a bike on wet leaves once at 5 MPH and I can easily imagine it happening again (had to brake at the bottom of a driveway for on-coming traffic). Oh yeah, I didn't have ABS since it was a 1973 R75/5...

Thanks for the chuck under the chin about posting the video, folks. I kinda cringe when I go back into this thread to see what kinda judgement I'm gonna get. Nobody likes to be told they're an *****. But of course I'm not getting that (much), but rather a lot of positive feedback, and I appreciate it.

Yes you are right.

However I have been in mud on concrete slikker an owl ****. Bike almost fell over with no input from throttle or brakes. Nearly impossible to control. Just very tiny steering inputs kept the bike up and unpukkered ***.

Think this was the situation here, it went down so fast!
