i was riding my F4 in the mountains, with my buddy following me. we accidentally chose the most fucked up road possible - there were no rails, the lanes were narrow, loose gravel everywhere, and shade from the trees that made the road hard to see.
anyway, i went in too hot on a sweeping right curve, and started going wide. i KNEW i was going to crash, but i panicked and froze (rookie rider error). next thing u know, im heading straight for the cliff!! i was thinking, "FUCK, this is it, it's over!" then i pushed HARD on the handlebar to the right, to try to lean over further. the bike leaned over to the right, out of the way of the cliff, and then i lowsided, slid, and ran into the mountainside. it fuckin hurt, but i was alive and didnt fall over the damn cliff.
if i didnt try to lean to the right, i would have fallen a couple hundred feet to my death. it happpened so fast, but i'll never forget the fright.
I was wating for a motorcycle story. seems i have about one a week.
