ot: laying down

 Some folks say that laying the bike down to avoid an accident is
worse, that if the rubber side keeps down it could be easier to avoid
or if unavoidable, the impact would be less.

well...

not in this case:

from my local tv news, the accident was in the other corner of the
country.

for those who doesn't understand portuguese, the rider was a 16 y.o.
boy, running from police. Outcome was two days in the hospital, then,
jail...

if he didn't laid the bike down, would he have survived?

What, he didn't get up and run after he stopped sliding?

So there's going under a big truck, and maybe laying it down to go
under a cable- any other times you really need to?

that stunt will be featured on the next The Fast and The Furious
movie. :)



Not needed for cables. You just get an anti-kite antenna like this:

Probably not.  The kid was damn lucky.  I wonder why he was running.

Too many freaks, not enough circuses.
