Lessons I learnt from watching this video..

1. Apparently, by not letting go of the bars, even when you have been physically ejected from the seat, you can survive any loss-of-traction event.
2. If you wish to be a demi-god of riding, apply gobs of throttle immediately after surviving such events, instead of pulling over, getting off and crying like mere mortals would do.

Crazy crazy men...

Yeah, I was thinking that myself - then it was obvious - if you want the front end to stop pitching all over the place - GET IT OFF THE GROUND!.... :lol:

Sounds great in theory but need the balls and the brains to think of quickly enough to save yourself.  Maybe they practice.  I would imagine those superbikes have enough balls to lift at those speeds.  Last year I lifted the front of a Kawasaki ZX10R at over 100mph but to be honest, I wasn´t even trying, just did it on its own.

This Amazing Motor Bike Crash Saved (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff6n-7ooGAg#) has never been better evidence of that...
