It slows the rotation of the rear tire, so it starts to come around the side, pointing the bike into a tighter line. I think. It's the almost-backing-it-in technique.

Am I thinking of the same 4WD, vehicles that simply power all four wheels? Why would you ever need a separate license for that? They drive pretty much the same on the street.

Oh, in that case, most definitely. I'm getting tired of the schoolbus-sized YUKON XL EDITION X BLACK SERIES OMEGA driven by suburbanites that shouldn't be licensed to ride bicycles, let alone drive buildings.

Your chain may have been tensioned, but was your rear wheel aligned properly? Pretty freaky sounding regardless, good to hear that it wasn't entirely catastrophic.

Was the tire a size too tall or something?

Z3n posted:AncientTV, no, it was the correct size for the bike, it just failed internally: The tread delaminated from the core of the tire. With no provocation? That's terrifying.

Might be suspension related. This is entirely anecdotal, but my 250 wobbles like hell on the track because the stock setup is so soft.

kenny powerzzz posted:Is it really that bad though? Is this a situation that can cause a high side? It largely depends on the situation, but clutching in will shift weight to the front, so if you're in a situation where the rear steps out and you let weight off it, it could very well regain traction, and, if it's out of line, quickly try and right itself. So yeah, possible highside.

Sounds like you need to learn the kickstand swivel maneuver.

nsaP posted:The sun does not have no prisoners. I'm always amazed at how long it takes him to realize that the big brown box has stopped moving. Had a couple words with a lovely teenager last night after he almost pulled out in front of me from a stop, resulting in me having to weave around his car. I went something like this: "Hey man, try and keep a better eye out next time. That's the most common way cars kill motorcyclists." "gently caress you human being, you wanna go?" I snapped my visor shut and rode off while listening to his alpha calls of "That's right, ride off bitch!" I've taught myself to keep cool, but that doesn't seem to work any better than being mad at people  edit: Kind of old, but worth mentioning Bow TIE Fighter posted:Locked up the rear which squealed for (what felt like) minutes, didn't lock up the front, but probably could have braked harder. Forgot to downshift, so I need more practice, probably also could have shifted my weight back over the rear tire, which may have helped (?). Generally when emergency braking, it's advised to just clutch in and focus all of your attention on the brakes. Unfortunately it's gone now, but I had a braking study PDF saved that basically stated, unless your brakes are crazy bad for some reason, that you don't gain any consequential stopping power from downshifting as long as you're using your brakes properly.
