I had a mishap at the track some time ago and could never figure out why what happened did happen.
So you're at a good lean angle and you either hit a wet spot or give to much throttle and the rear begins to slide. I know you DO NOT let off the throttle or you'll flip. What do you do to safely and accurately regain the traction.
My experience:
It had just rained a few hours before and the track was partially wet/dry. I rounded going around a long sweeper and the rear was slightly out and I just held it like that through the wet turn. Just thinking to myself "this is cool", when all of a sudden I hit a dry patch, the rear caught and the bike stood up and sent me to the ground. I tried to catch myself when hitting the ground by using my arms in a push up position. This broke my elbow.
It was in 2005 and I would just love to actually learn something from it.
