This is the equivalent of making someone else watch a video on your phone while you hold it.

I don't disagree, but what if someone is touring on the race line on your hot lap? One needs more tools in the toolbox to adapt to more situations.
 
I find the use of some of these terms vague at best. Troy Corser made me laugh when asked about late braking and his response was that late is too late. 🤣

I've seen a lot of talk about the really fast guys turning electronics down or off as they find that they get in the way, so I guess the electronics might save you to some degree to a certain level of speed but beyond that it's far more about technique and feel for the bike. The video posted actually showed getting on the throttle sooner and doing so didn't activate traction control. I don't think I'd want to be relying on electronics to save me from poor technique...
 
He probably should have went with a different opening…he could have shot the whole video without revealing that.
 
In the last 5 years Ive had on average one off a year on track, all ride away from with a bit of tape and spares. The worst part is arriving back in the pits on the trailer of shame. Minor events in the grand scheme and all due to lack of skill and trying too hard. Its just part of the game. I wish I have more stickers because as everyone knows wearing labels on the outside (bike, clothes, whatever) is a mark of style and class plus it make you a lot faster.

Well said. For me, the worst part is the self flagellation that follows.

Actually I'm wrong. One can simply run off the road, or crash into something. But relative to both low and highsides correct. That was a weak attempt at humor.

Don’t worry, I got the attempt at humour… I would think losing traction is a consequence of an action rather than being the cause of an accident though. Semantics… 😂
 
It was the quip my racing partner and I used whenever one of us tossed a bike away. He owns the record for cartwheeling a bike up the hill that was (is?) at the end of the front straight at Thunderhill. Way up there. Only thing pretty much unharmed was the engine.

Much like when I was young we would get golfers asking for a free tip and the response was always, with a straight face as if imparting great wisdom, “you’re standing too close to the ball after you’ve hit it”.
