Not to bring up bad memories, but we all learn from mistakes - our own and
others. 20mph is slower than I would expect a high side occur. Would you
care to elaborate on what happened, if you remember. I'm still trying to
understand the physics of a highside so as to avoid one. I think I may have
come close once, but it didn't happen so I'll never know if it would have
happened. I guess the question is - If you think you're gonna highside, is
it avoidable if you do the right thing(s) to keep the rubber down?
I guess that's like asking how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie
roll center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know.
