RE: [ST] Cornering

["John Petrey, Jr." <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Loss of traction up front puts my heart in my throat in a more meaningful 
way than does the rear sliding. Rear feels kinda good but then I have never 
high sided but quite a few times have gotten slapped around a bit, knock on 
wood. The worst high-side I've ever seen was KR, Jr's last year  when his 
RGV500 seized while leading I can't remember which GP. It was estimated he 
was doing 110mph. It spit him what looked like 10 feet in the air, head 
over heels.

When the rear looses traction I don't really feel out of control. Whereas 
when the front begins to go it really scares me. I guess I don't have the 
'gas-it' thing down that will usually save the front.

If either one slides I slow down.
