Almost wrecked again.. Ended up pulling off a crazy drift and popping it back up!
Almost wrecked again.. Ended up pulling off a crazy drift and popping it back up!
I was downtown today, leaving downtown going the speed limit of 25 in second gear, Left lane was going like 15ish, lady in a car pulls out half way in front of me and STOPS blocking most of my lane!
I swerved, and nailed the gas because I thought she was still coming and I had no time to stop, so I was hoping to get around before she finishes coming around otherwise I wouldve t-boned her.
So, the rear tire starts peeling out (no clutch pop - rejetted and tuned really well wtih k&n, but cold tires). I ended up leaning like I would going 70mph in a turn with my knee almost touching and holding that drift position and went around/over the hood over her car while "drifting" and popping it back up by turning the wheel in the direction that I was leaning in. Popped back up and continued. I dont think the movies could have done it better!
My finger was on the horn the entire duration of that as-well.. Crazy drivers here :-( Only option was to go, she was so close that I wouldve hit her if I tried braking.
Crazy crazy day...
Edit: Someone posted this video under "Motorcycle drifting" and yeah this is what happened with me today, but I got low!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXGOWBSAf88
